FACTS FOR INVESTORS.
THE WAIHI GROUP.VITAL CHANGES REVIEWED,
FUTURE OF FAMOUS MINE,
(Part 2.)The gold mining industry in the
Dominion is at the present time in anunsettled condition, and investors approachthis section of the market with consider-able hesitation. Vital changes have occur-red in the last few years, and in thisconnection it will be interesting to tracethe course of events so far as they affectthe most important of all, namely, theWaihi group.
In October, 1935, resolutions were paaeedin London whereby the old-establishedWaihi Gold Mining Company was liqui-dated and in its place Waihi Investmentsand Exploration, Limited and MarthaGold Mining Company (Waihi), Limited,came into being.
Waihi Grand Junetion.It was in 1926 that the shareholders
in Waihi Grand Junction mine, whose £1shares had been written down by 18/ toaccount for accumulated lomee, sanctionedan arrangement with the Waihi companywhereby the bigger concern mined its ore
on a 50-50 basis. The Junction companywas thereby saved from liquidation, andwith the benefit of the efficient manage-ment and fine plant thus made available,had a series of successful years.
Its mining record since December 31,1929, lias been as follows:—Ore

7,212 4d 6,906 10,163A sharp drop in reserve in 1935 was
chiefly due to property being written downfrom £5000 to £1, the difference beingdebited to capital reaerve account.
For the same reasons that have pro-duced a serious problem for the manage-ment of the Martha mine, shareholdersin Grand Junction are facing the likeli-hood of mining operations ceasing beforethe end of the year. The latest informa-tion in regard to ore reserve# is that lastyear 20,455 tons of new ore was openedup, t>ut this was considerably less thanthe mine output and in consequencereserves had been reduced to 18,309 tpns.In this connection the* chairman ofdirectors, Mr. W. P. Gauvain, said atthe annual meeting:—
"In addition to the known ore reservesthere still remains in the mine some orewhich could be mined were it not for theincrease in working costs. For eoine yearspast the value of the ore per ton minedhas shown a steady decrease and thiscoupled with rising costs has rendered theposition increasingly difficult."
Following on these remarks the chair-man referred to the probability of itsmining operations at Waihi ceasing duringthe present year.
Balance-sheet Items.Under these circumstances the balance-
sheet is of special interest. Followingare chief items in the latest balance-sheet,namely, for the year ended December 31,1936, the figures being compared withthose of the previous year:—
LIABILITIES.Increaseordecrease.
£ £
Paid capital ........ 41,438 SameReserves 15,564 +1,264Creditors 4,200 —302Profit and loss 10,505 +306ASSETS.Property 1 SameDebtors 5,510 +131•Investments 03,421 +52Puket tin shares .... 8,332 SameDeposits 3,350 +850Cash 1,1-77 +235Total assets 71,706 +1,267During the yeagji the chairman stated,the company its holding inPuket Tin Dredging of 33,329 ehareg by
10,000, which it had sold at a good profit.The results of this transaction will pre-sumably figure in the current year'saccounts.Property appears in the book? at £1,and despite sales which have been madeand credited to capital reserve accountthere should be some excess value inthis item. Taking the assets at their
face value the margin of assets overliabilities gives approximately 3/3 forevery 2/ share.Investors should remember that the
cessation of operations at Waihi wouldnot necessarily involve the liquidation ofthe oompany.
The directory might, as in the case ofthe Komata Reefs Co., find a profitableuse for their capital in other countries.Already it possesses an interest in thePuket Till Dredging Co. and it wasassociated with the Waihi Co. in theZululand enterprise, its share of the losssustained'therein being £1900.
In regard to the Waihi field the chair-man stated that diamond drilling had beencarried out to test claims with no satis-lactory results. However, it is interestingto note that within the last few daysthe company has renewed prospectinglicenses in that area.
Share Values.With satisfactory profits and regular
[dividends, the shares were steady inrecent years at about 4/, easing in thelast month to, about 3/9. When thechairman's latest announcement in regardto the mine was published they droppedsharply and sold down to 2/6 last month.They have since recovered to 3/.

BOBBY CALVES.
CONDITIONS OF TRADE.COSTB AND RECEIPTS.
THE FARMERS' SHARE.)
With a fresh season in full swing forthe export trade in bobby calves a state-ment outlining the conditions under whichthe busiuess has been carried on has beenprepared by Mr. W. A. Phillips, chair-man of directors of the New Zealand Co-operative Pig Marketing Association.
"The average live weight of calvesslaughtered in the Auckland province,"says Mr. Phillips, "approximates 621b, ofwhich, after skinning, boning and trim-ming, roughly only 25 per cent in weightis retained as exportable veal. The vealis exported frozen, in bags, and is usuallysold forward at an upset c.i.f.e. price, withdelivery spread much beyond the normalseason for collection.
"The skin from an average weight calfwould weigh approximately 4%1b and isusually sold green, on freezing works'weight and grade. The offal, consistingof hearts, kidneys, livers, etc., is exportedfrozen in containers and is. sold accord-ingly. The veil, which is the onlyremaining by-product of value, is mainlyused in New Zealand for the manufactureof rennet.
"The current delivered at port worksexport values of these products from theaverage weight of calf is approximately asfollows:—Bone veal, 5/; skin, 5/6; offal1/2; exchange (on meat and offal), 1/4;total gross value, 03/. Out of this thefollowing charges have to be met: Over-seas freight on meat, 1/3; killing andother works' charges to f.0.b., 3/1; marineinsurance and export selling commission,3d; a total of 4/7.
"This leaves a net, all-sunk value to theexporter of approximately 8/5. There-fore, to Arrive at the price payable to thefarmer ft is necessary to provide for allcosts of handling the live product fromfarm gate to port works. These are:Cartage to rail, at present 1/3; agent'scommission and railage, varying from 3dto 1/3, according to distance from works.These arc direct charges only, and makeno allowance for indirect losses, such asthat on calves rejected for export; exces-sive railage costs which occur on bothsides of the peak period; additionalstorage costs on veal to effect shipmentswhich buyers required spread muchbeyond the currency of the slaughteringseason and in consequence yet anotherindirect loss is occasioned by the abnor-mal shrinkage in weight of veal packed.All of these factors are common to thetrade and must, therefore, be providedfor.
"Finally," said Mr. Phillips, "I wish tomake it clear that my comments apply tocurrent values only, which are based onthe most favourable ports works' charges.In saying this, however, it is desirable tomention that although over the last twoyears the average export value of the vealand offal has varied very little, this doesnot apply to the skin market, in whichsubstantial fluctuations fiave occurred.The demand for bobby veal and offal ismainly from England, while that forskips is international in scope, fashionsplaying a big part in the competition forthe product and the resultant priceoffered."

GRAIN AND PRODUCE.CHRISTCHURCH MARKET.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)CHRISTCHURCH, Friday.
Grain and produce markets have littlelife in them, and in no section is thereanything but the smallest quantity ofbusiness. July is generally a dull monthin the majority of lines, but this yearthere are few signs of activity anywhere.The North Island "demand for potatoeshas not so far appeared, mainly becauseof shipments last week amounting to 9000sacks, and further substantial shipmentsthis week have kept Auckland fully sup-plied. There is some consignment busi-ness, but the majority of deliveries havebeen in cxec-ution of contracts made earlierIn the season. Buyers are not keen tooperate even at the present reduced rates,which remain unchanged from the begin-ning of the week.
Onions continue in good demand, arulwhere supplies are available are easily sold.The price runs from £8 to £10 on trucks.The crop has mainly been cleaned up,but there are still supplies of turbitsavailable. Oats ajld chaff continue firm,with little business passing. It appearsthat a good deal of oats will be requiredin sheaf for winter feeding, and offeringsare not heavy. Both oats and chaff arebeing imported into the North Islandfrom Tasmania.
MEAT AT SMITHFIELD.WETHERS ARE FIRM.
The Bank of New Zealand has receivedthe following advice from its Londonoffice as at close of business this week: —
Wethers: The market is firm. Ewes:There is a moderate demand. Lambs:The market is steady and no materialchange is expected yet. Wethers, light.5d to 5%d per lb; heavy, 49id to 4%d;ewes, 3d to 3%d; lambs, two's, 7%d to7%d; eight's, 6%d to 7d; four's, 6%d to6?4d; second's, 6%d to 7d.
WHOLESALE EGG PRICES.The Auckland. Jigg Marketing Com-
mittee announce that egg prices areunchanged. Supplies are stSrfairly shortand prices are likely to remain steady inthe meantime,, as. follows:—Hen: Firstgrade, 2/3% per dozen; B, 2/3%; C,1/10%. Duck:- First grade, 2/3% perdozen; B, 2/2%; C, 1/9%. Country store-keepers' minimum buying prices for firstgrade eggs are:—Hen, 1/10 per dozen;auck, 1/8ii.
THE WEEK REVIEWED.
BUSINESS IS STEADY.
BANK BHAREB QUIET.
GOVERNMENT STOCKS FIRM.
Since' last review business on the Auck-land Stock Exchange lias been aboutnormal for this time of the year. Valueson the whole have been fairly steady,and sales have represented a wide rangeof securities.
Banks have had a quiet week, andulthouuh a good list of sales was putthrough the bulk was confined to twoinstitutions, New Zea lands and Com-mercials. The former were in steadydemand all the week, but buyers soughtconcessions, and the shares slipped from44/0 to 44/. Commercials eased furtherwith sales from 19/ to 18/6. Nationalsof New Zealand also lost ground, and a6ale took place yesterday at £3, thelowest price accepted since October last.
South British prospects.Now that the dividend announcement
of the New Zealand Insurance Companyapparently makes it clear that no specialdistribution or advance in dividend ratecan be expected at present from thatinstitution, investors in insurance stockare turning their attention to SouthBritish. Buyers raised their offers to96/6 without any response from holders.It would appear tfcat the market is againlooking forward to some special distribu-tion from this stock. This follows quitea long sequence of yearly disappointments.
It is ten years since the directors madea present to shareholders—apart from theusual dividend—of 5/ per share, makingthe shares fully paid at £1 each. In tbeinterim reserves have been steadily mount-ing, and at last balancing, namely, atAugust 31, they had reached the impres-sive total of £2.3.50,000, with the amountheld in cash or gilt-edged securities total-ling over £2,000,000. The man in thestreet, who has been watching thesereserves grow from £1,553,000 in 1927.quite naturally believes, as each financialyear conies to a close, that the longdelayed distribution must surely be due.
However, the directors viewpoint isthat the first objective, security of policyholders, must be maintained at all cost.Under modern conditions internationaland local, it is suggested that a biggermargin fchftn ever before is advisable toguard against all conceivable risks. More-over, interest rates are at a low levelnowadays, and outside investments havecorrespondingly to be higher if the com-pany is to maintain its traditional objec-tive of paying dividends from interestearned, leaving the underwriting surplusesto provide reserves for subsequent distri-bution.
A Possible Contingency.It is, of course, on the cards that
the company niay do as Wilsons Cementand Donaghy's Rope have done, namely,revalue assets, or a portion of Uieni,and some readjustment following uponthis course might prove of advantage toshareholders. Certainly all business indi-cations point to the company being ableto show another year of satisfactory opera-tions when the accounts for the currentyear, which closes on August 31, becomedue.
Fixed Term Seeurlties.A feature of the section comprising Gov-
ernment stocks has been the specialattention given to the longest term ofthe 4 per cents, the 1952-55's, which soldup to £104 15/, a rise of 30/, this month.There was a steady demand for otherissues at late rates, but offerings werescarce and business limited in consequence.As in recent weeks supplies of local bodydebentures were exceedingly scarcc, andrecorded business "was confined to threeparcels of Auckland Harbour Board, whichchanged hands, ex interest, at £103 10/,£103 and £102 respectively, prices thatare relatively as high as Governmentstock.
Mining Steady.There was a little more life in the min-
ing section, but turnover was email. TheWaihi Group showed some improvement,and the scrip of three Southern com-panies. Big River, Gillespies and Skippers,figured on the sales list.
Australian Issues.There was a definite improvement inAustralian industrials, though Electro-
lytic Zincs, Mount Lyells and Broken Hillsare still affected by the vagaries of theLondon metal markets. Thus zinc ordin-ary shares sold up to 50/6, and the prefs.a shilling higher, but yesterday theirvalues were back to 57/9 and 58/0 respec-tively. In March lust, when al2 percent dividend rate waa ruling, the ordinaryacrip sold up to 70/; now that a distribu-tion of 17V6 per cent is in sight they arevalued at under £3. This provides ameasure of the psychological effect ofinternational uncertainty in the invest-ment market. Mount Lyells sold up to43/, but with an easing in the coppermarket best buyers stopped yesterdayat 42/4. Broken Hill Proprietary movedup from £4 3/ to £4 4/, and held therise. This is 9/ below the peak pricerealised in March.
Colonial Sugars were in demand andsold more freely than usual, with values |fluctuating between £47 17/6 and £47 |12/0. Dunlops firmed up on favourable jreports from Sydney, and sales at 23'1and 23/2 registered an advance in the weekof 6d and "d. Australian Glass sharesmaintained a solid front, with business Iat £4 12/, and more wanted at that figure, iThe announcement of a final dividendand a bonus issue of shares by G. J. Coleshad the natural effect of firming themarket for these shares, which rosesharply from £5 6/ to sales at £5 10/.The distribution for the year will total18% per cent, and shareholders are toreceive a bonus share for each ten sharesat present . held. Despite reports of apossible merger between Coles and Wool-worths nothing of a tangible nature has ■so far been published, but it is not sur-prising that the shares of the latter com-pany showed some reaction to th» Colesannouncement, selling from £6 12/ cumdividend to £6 14/6 ex dividend.
Dominion Securities.There was again quite a satisfactory
market for New Zealand miscellaneoussecurities, which appear to be regainingsome of the ground lost to Australianenterprises early in the year. CeVtainly !the turnover represents a wider range of 1securities than it did va few mo iths ago,and values on the whole are well main-tained. with advances in some cases. Apartfrom lines that are selling regularly thisweek's list of sales included C. L. InnesBreweries at 31/, Leyland O'Brien Timberat 17/6—a cheap buy, WhakatanePaper Mills 5/6, Tui Breweries 56/6,Rayneon £1. Gear Meat 16/9, UnionOils £1 7/, K.D.V. Boxes (con.),4/4, Southland Frozen Meat £4 o/,and Wellington Gas (prefs.l, at 24/2. Aperusal of the sales list shows very clearlya return of confidence on the part ofinvestors in securities that are domiciledin the Dominion.
Among "the more popular issues Auck-land Gas shares were steady at 21/6, andWilsons Cements were firm between 20/and 20/3. Consolidated Bricks made ar.harp recovery, with sales up to 8/9, andFarmers' Fertilisers were steady between20/10 and 20/11. Dominion Investmentsretained recent firmness, with businessat 17/. and Berlei's (N.Z.) had two salesat 65/6. Industries specially favouredappeared to be breweries and meat freez-ing concerns, which between themaccounted for a big list of sales.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

Cottington was engaged on repairingthe rail track and the noise of an aircompressor in the vicinity prevented himhearing the approach of the trucks. Hisbody was badly Mangled, and was re-moved to Kaikoura.
WINGING HOME.messenger pigeons.
USE IN PEACE AND WAR.
WHAT IS THEIR SECRET ?
To many, perhaps, the demolition ofthe "pigeon tower" on top of theAuckland Star" building has meant
just the passing of an interesting yetobsolete means of communication. Withthe development of telegraphic services,with humming wires linking the wholeof New Zealand, the pigeon lost its placeof importance, here at any rate, as acarrier of the day's news.
But even to-day the homing pigeonis regarded as an essential part ofmachines of both peace and war. Theworld over it is being trained to speedwith vital messages when other channelsof contact are broken in battles, infloods, in storms, in forest fires.
Frequent are the marvels of staminaand instinct which the pigeon illustrates.The case is on record of a homing birdwhich was released in Arras, France,and found its way back to Saigon, ludo-China—72oo miles away—in 24 days.What is the mysterious force that guidesthe bird to its home? It is known whypigeons come home—they want to benear their food, mates and offspring; butnobody can explain how they do it. Theycertainly have remarkable eyesight, butthis is no explanation of the fact thattheir homing trait remains even afterJthey have been carried in a railwaycarriage or a ship's hold.
It has been found that homing pigeonswill follow the easiest route, flyinground storms and fog. As a rule theydo not fly in darkness, although at anArmy Signal Corps headquarters in theUnited States they are being trained tocarry messages even at night.
While the secret of Its powers remainsunexplained, the bird's popularity isstrong as a messenger and in the sportof pigeon racing, which is a flourishingone in New Zealand, as in many othercountries. During the Great War pigeonsgave valuable service, and to-day thatservice is well remembered in militarycircles. Pigeon lofts are specially main-tained, and in Germany birds are trainedto carry a small camera which makesexposures at intervals during theirflight. Their peace time uses are-grow-ing, too; a Long Island fishing fleetuses them to send back for help in casesof trouble, and forest patrols use themfor reporting fires. In big Americancities they still serve newspapers underspecial circumstances.

ROAD SAFETY COUNCIL.
ACTIVITIES NOT «DEAD."(By Telegraph—Own Correspondent.)
WELLINGTON, Friday.When commenting upon statements,
regarding the apparent cessation of theactivities of the Road Safety Council, theHon. H. G. R- Mason, acting for theMinister of Transport, stated to-daythat the council was still in active being.
"It is correct to say that no meetingsof the full council have been held dur-ing the present year," said Mr. Mason,"but consultation with the council hasbeen maintained by way of correspon-dence. For instance, in regard to therecently-issued road code the TransportDepartment undertook the work of pre-paration, and a draft of the code wascirculated to members of the council andtheir comments and advice obtained."
The council is to meet next week.
EXCHANGE OF OFFICERS
FIRST ABBITALB FROM R.A.F.
Inaugurating an'exchange system be-tween officers of the Royal Air Forceand the Royal New Zealand Air Force,Flight-Lieutenant W. M. Grundy, aspecialist signals officer, and Flight-Lietitenant L. Crocker, an engineerspecialist, arrived from England yester-day by the Arawa. They will be attachedto the Dominion air unit for two years.

FALLING DEMAND.N.Z.-MADE FOOTWEAR.
EFFECT OF LEGISLATION.MANUFACTURERS' TROUBLES.
(By Telegraph—Own Correspondent.)
CHRISTCHURCH, this day."The demand for New Zealand-made
shoes and boots has so fallen away thateven with the reduced hours of workSouth Island factories are not workingfull time," said Mr. H. B. Duckworth,president of the Dominion FootwearTrades' Association. His was one in-stance of varying effects which severalleading city manufacturers claimed hadfollowed the recent labour legislation inNew Zealand.
Mr. Duckworth said that the shoetrade in the South Island was by nomeans busy. There was a definitedecline in the demand, and at the sametime the value and quantity of importshad risen. Shoe imports for the firstfive months of the year had shown aheavy increase. Their invoice value—value in the country of origin—was£27,973, exclusive of small shoes from
sizes 0 to 9, which came in duty free.These figures showed an increase of
approximately 100 per cent over theimports for the same period last year,which were valued at £14,699. Inquantity also, there was an equallylarge increase, the imports numberingabout 47,000 pairs.
Wage Rates Increased.Wage rates in the industry had not
only been increased to the 1931 level,but had been carried still higher, andthere was now approximately a 30 percent increase in labour costs. Theprices of raw material and cost of the40-hour week also affected prices. TheNew Zealand manufacturers wouldhold their annual meeting in Welling-ton on July 28, and there was a pro-posal that tlie meeting should arrangea deputation to the Government.
The woollen manufacturing companiesare at the end of their busy season, andany effect of recent legislation may notbe apparent until prices are quoted forthe next season, in about three months'time. Even so, Mr. W. R. Carey, man-ager of the Kaiapoi Woollen Manufac-turing Company, Ltd., said that therewas an animated demand for Australiangoods. This demand was growing,because the Australians did not worknnder such restrictions as the New Zea-land factories did and their prices wereattractive.
"Overtime Not Economic."Mr. A. M. Hollander, chairman of the
soft goods trade group in Christchurch,said there was a heavy demand upon softgoods manufacturers, but it was noteconomic for them to work overtime atthe rates prescribed and their output wasrestricted. Manufacturers were behindwith their orders, but could not affordto work overtime to catch up.
Similarly, in the canister-making in-dustry, there has been a heavy demandwhich cannot be met economically byovertime work. Mr. B. J. Masters, man-ager of Gadsden and Company, Limited,said that if his firm stopped taking newbusiness now it would have two or threemonths' work in hand fulfilling orders.The biscuit manufacturers here made theirown tins, so that their industry was not,,as in the North Island, affected by thedifficulties of the canister-makers. Never-theless, the freezing works placed large
[ orders and the factory was busy meeting'these, which were given preference. ItI was not economic to work overtime, andthe industry was just meeting the ordersas it could.

REFITTED LINER.
ARAWA FROM LONDON.
PLEASANT VOYAGE OUT.
Renovated and refitted throughout, theShaw Savill and Albion Company'slatest tourist vessel Arawa made herfirst visit to Auckland from Londonyesterday under her new house flag.Pleasant weather was experiencedthroughout and calls were made atCuracao, Cristobal and Pitcairn Island.In addition to mails and a full cargo theArawa had a large passenger list, whichincluded many returning from theCoronation.
Among these was Canon D. Haultain,of Nelson, who said that the ceremonyindicated the great bonds of consciousfellowship existing between the Home-land and other parts of the Empire. Asimilar view was expressed by Dr. Jef-coate Harbutt, of Auckland, who saidthat the devotion of British peoples to-ward the Throne was never betterexemplified. .
"The most impressive sight I haveever seen," commented Mr. GordonFagan, Auckland, who was one of thefive representatives of New Zealand inthe Coronation Choir. "The whole pro-cedure was. marvellous and the organisa-tion perfect."
Dr. Anna Sjogren, of Stockholm,Sweden, principal of a large school forgirls in that city was another passenger.She will spend some time in New Zea-land before proceeding to Australia,China, Japan and India.

"RUNNYMEDE" PAGEANT.
One of the most pretentious and colour-ful theatrical presentations ever to beoffered in New Zealand will be the forth-coming "Runnymede" pageant, for which JDr. George de Clive Lowe has written acomplete musical score, including operatic jand musical numbers. This work hasbeen praised without qualification by localmusicians and the rehearsals have revealedan excellent response on the part of thehuge cast to the thorough training andstage arrangements of the producers.Colour will be an iessential feature of thepageant's background, with music, comedy,drama and romance as its principal 'side-issues. Music may even tend to dominateall otlisr aspects in the finished product.The play—for it is . a complete theatrepiece—is based on the evergreen story ofthe signing by King John of the invalu-able Magna Carta, and the historical back-
. ground serves for interpretation ofmodern events.
TAKAPUNA LOAN.
DEADLOCK . REACHED.
HEAVY INCREASED COSTS.
A deadlock in" connection with theraising of a Takapuna riding loan of£7200 for improvement of the coastalroad was reported at a meeting of theWaitemata County Council yesterday.
The county clerk, Mr. C. A. Cawkwell,said that it appeared that the estimatesfurnished had not been acceptable tothe Local Government Loans Board. Apoll of ratepayers had sanctioned the£7200 loan, and the sanctioned work wasestimated to cost £27,170. When appli-cation was made it was learned that theestimated cost was £47,475, and thatthe county's share of the proposed workwould be £11,396. The board consideredthat the loan of £7200 was not based onsufficient data to enable a reasonablyaccurate figure to be arrived at. A finalreport from the Loans Board stated thatfrom estimates prepared by the PublicWorks Department it appeared that theamount now to be found by the councilwould be £13,600, and that the total coston a subsidy basis would approximate£54,400.
Mr. Cawkwell said that if they couldget authority to raise the £7200 theywould go on with it.
The chairman, Mr. H. Paltridge, saidthat when the estimates were made theywere pretty accurate, but the costs hadgone up very much.
It was decided to defer considerationof the matter until the next meeting.

DOMINION DOCTORS.
TENDENCY TO SPECIALISE.
A warning note to young New Zea-land doctors against the practice ofgoing abroad in order to specialise ontheir return was. sounded by Dr. JefcoateHarbuti yesterday when he arrived bythe Afawa from England, where heunderwent post-graduate courses atQueen Charlotte's Hospital and theSamaritan Hospital, London. Theanxiety of young doctors to go to Eng-land had many disadvantages and re-duced the number of available *housesurgeons in New Zealand hospitals.
He added that when a doctor returnedhe usually had little scope to utilise hisspecialised training and had to work asa general practitioner. Hence he mightbecome a poor specialist or poor generalpractitioner because he had not donegeneral work. "There is too great atendency toward specialisation in NewZealand."

"OVERCROWDED."
TRAINING OF TEACHERS.
PROFESSOR'S OPINION.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
CHRISTCHURCH, Friday.Holding that the training programme
for elementary school teachers was over-crowded, and advocating that a muchfreer hand should be given to the train-ing colleges of the Dominion in formu-lating their policies, Professor I. L. Kan-del, of Columbia University, New.York,suggested that New Zealand should con-■sider the affiliation of training collegeswith the university on the same basisas the law and medical schools' affilia-tion. "I look on the whole problem oftraining teachers as one of as much im-portance as training for any other pro-fession, and, as teachers have morefreedom, their responsibilities will in-crease," he said.
The present two-year programme wasovercrowded, Professor Kandel claimed.The student had to carry his academicwork, his professional theory work andhis practical training, and then about60 per cent of the students attemptedto take university studies at the sametime. Where they found time to studyhe did not know.
_
-From what he had seen in the Domi-nion, the students took their universitywork at the end of the day, when theymight legitimately be expected to betired. Affiliation and adjustment be-tween the colleges and the universitywould allow this difficulty to be sur-mounted. This was the trend of thecolleges abroad, he added. Here in NewZealand "cramming" was confused withhigher education.
BOOK CENSORSHIP PLAN.
REVISES IK AUSTRALIA.
Australia's book censorship systemlias been completely revised and tlieright of appeal has been instituted.The Minister of Customs, Mr. White, hasannounced important changes in thesystem, including the appointment of apermanent censorship board in place ofthe present voluntary body.
Sir RoTiert Garran, former Solicitor-General and chairman of the existingcensorship committee, will be appointedAppeal Censor.
The present committee will be con-verted to a permanent board.The Appeal Censor and board members
will be appointed for three years andwill conduct the censorship in the samemanner as the Film Censorship Board.
Seditious literature will still be dealtwith by tlie Attorney-General's Depart-ment. The new board will deal onlywith imported literature regarded a«being blasphemous, indecent or obscene.
Critics of the censorship, who fearrestrictions upon the importations ofCommunist and other revolutionaryliterature, are dissatisfied that authorityover political works is still to be exer-cised by the Government.

MAY GO HUNGRY.TOURISTS IN N.Z.
FEEL PEST, NOT GUEST.
TRAVEEXERS WARNED.'
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)WELLINGTON, this day.
A warning that tourists in New Zea-land may go hungry on occasions as aresult of recent legislation is given inthe English journal "The Field" by Mr.George Nugent, writing from Panama.
"It would be an impertinence for atourist to decry legislation which is thebusiness of New Zealanders alone, butas one whose weeks of touring havenow ended I believe it a friendly act towarn my kind cousins that a law whichnow restricts the hours of service inhotels has transformed once hospitableNew Zealand into the hungriest andleast comfortable of all civilised coun-tries for the friendless tourist," hewrites.
"Beautiful as she is, New Zealandcannot exist on scenery alone, as wasdiscovered by the earliest Maoris. Likethem, the tourist is preoccupied by dayby {ear of meatless nights, but nowa-days he may not play for safety as theydid. When this Act was passed Parlia-ment seems to have forgotten the effortsof the State to make the country fit fortourists; it has made it fit for heroeswhen they tour.
No Hardy Pioneer."A Result outside the bigger towns is
to compel hotel visitors to dine at 6 p.m.or not at aIL Now it must be remem-bered that the European tourist who canafford & return fare of, say, £150 for10 weeks' voyaging is no young andhardy pioneer, but almost necessarilyelderly and wedded to such reasonablecomforts as are at hand in every touristcountry, above all, to the crowning com-fort of his dinner, which he eats at 7 p.m.at earliest. But it is just to admitthat while New Zealand denies herfainting tourist bread at 7 p.m. shedoes, in. the manner of Marie Antoinette,extend a hope of cake at 10. The unfor-tunate landlord tries to soften the dis-comfort of his guests by serving cakesand tea at bedtime, and every doctorknows that an extra daily meal ofstarchy foods will shorten the lives ofall of us.
Vague Chande."However one may object to a 6ix
o'clock dinner, even the chance of anydinner is a vague one, although you mayhave had no tea should the TouristBureau forward you by goods train, asit sometimes does. The timed arrivalof road car or train is often after 6 p.m.,and they may run late as well, so, owingto no fault of yours, you don't arrivetill 7 has gone, to find the dinner over,the tables laid for breakfast, and thestaff gone home.
"Sometimes easily, sometimes only bya fuss, you can persuade the manager torake up for you an omnibus plate oftepid scraps and sodden vegetables. Thismay be served by him or by his wife, and,sensing resentment, you feel that youare not guest, but pest. And you remem-ber that you have paid the TouristBureau in advance the charges for anormal, pleasant evening meal. On aSunday at 9 p.m. one hotel managerdenied me even tea, declaring this wouldbe illegal."
CHURCHES IN GERMANY.

MAY LEAVE FILMS.
JEAN ARTHUR THREAT]
SICKENED BY HER PARTS.
WANTS QUALITY PICTOBEB.
LONDON, June 10.Jean Arthur, who reached the pean of
her screen popularity when »he playedopposite Gary Cooper in "Mr. Deeds Goesto Town," talks of quitting films.
She claims that 6he is so sickened bythe parts provided for her in recentpictures that she has had a nervousbreakdown.
Protesting against her present contractwith Columbia Pictures, she has madea deposition to the Court in which shesays: "I think that being forced to dothe kind of thing you are ashamed todo is about the worst ill-treatment onecan possibly go through."
Miss Arthur was too ill to attendCourt yesterday to voice her protests,but her husband, Frank Moss, appearedfor her.
Her deposition referred to &conferencewhich, she says, was held between herand Columbia in 1933, when she toldthem that "I will not go backpictures just to make money.
"I told them that I wanted to makequality pictures that amounted to some-thing or else not be in the business atall."
Unless some agreement is reached MissArthur threatens to abandon her filmcareer entirely and concentrate on radioand the theatre.
She entered films as a professionalmodel in 1928, left in 1930 when talkies
i came in, and after three years on thestage returned to carve out a new careerfor herself as a blonde. Her age is 28.

RUGBY AND "RESULTS."
The Springboks' Australian programme
Jends to-day, and New Zealanders,* whilereading of or watching the excessively earnestefforts of the selection committee to find thestrongest possible All Black fifteen, are nowbetter able to form a judgment as to theirquality. It does not seem that the reputationwhich came before them was more thanusually exaggerated. After a long sea voyagethey landed in a strange country, and hadto accustom themselves to new climatic|conditions, differing interpretations of therules, and also to much hard travelling. Intheir matches they met with a far greaterproportion of wet and muddy grounds thanany team expects. In the light of all thesefactors, their record is an impressive one,fully supporting the impression that they arean unusually good all-round team. And in'New Zealand—for at least the first half oftheir tour—they may be better.
If, as old Rugby players often and wisely'remark, "a team only plays as well as it isallowed to play," the Springboks' performancesmust be judged mainly on their record inSydney, where their opposition was strongest.In their first match there against New SouthWales, they were soundly beaten by 17 points!to 6. In that match, observers agree, the NewSouth Wales fifteen played "above them-selves," and, especially in the light of theirdisadvantages in weight, their achievementwas one- that the Australians will recallproudly for years to come. But the Springboksproved on the following Saturday, againstAustralia, that their best form had not beenseen on the day of their defeat. Making fulluse of their weight, and preventing. theiropponents from "opening up" the play, theyestablished a superiority greater than thescore indicated. Only desperate defeneeprevented them from adding to their score inthe last quarter. Obviously they had learnedfrom the New South Wales match that,though the spectators might clamour for opentactics, they must, if they were to assurethemselves of victory, play the kind of gamethey play best. It is unlikely that in theirNew Zealand tour "they will risk another
In. the minor games, perhaps,Hew Zealanders will see "spectacular" Rugby;hi games in' which the Springboks are stronglyopposed <ffeey: are -likely to play the kind ofgr&fte. described in "as close as a
unfortunate .. i. .i
should Zealanders are not ina position to urge their opponents to thinkmore of the game , than; of its result, for it isapparent that it is the result —especially ofthe 'Test 3 matches—-which they themselveshave most in. mind.
I ; -The New Zealand selectors summoned some{Seventy men Wellington, and theresubjected them to a series of trials so severe'that' many of them became "muscle sore,languid .and incapable' of giving their best."This is carrying, enthusiasm for Rugby to aridiculous extreme, and it is also betraying toall the Rugby world how much we wish to besuccessful in winning the Tests—how muchwe value the "result" beyond the game. Suchintense concentration on "results" oftenproduees poor Rugby, and it is apt to producepoor sportsmanship. Unless all sense of valueshas been lost, defeat in one Test game, or fevenin all three, should be of no great consequence.The spirit needed in the forthcoming series ofmatches is that commonly seen in inter-collegiate matches, and manifested also by theSpringboks in Sydney, when, despite theirown bitter disappointment, they "chaired" theNew South Wales captain off the field.Meanwhile it should be remarked that theexcesses of the trial matches have resulted ina considerable number of injuries, one ofwhich will deprive the Anckland team of oneof its most able and popular players.
FRUIT MARKETING.
The announcement by the Hon. W. LeeMartin that the Government intends to assumeformal control of fruit and vegetables followsthe recommendation to that effect made bythe inquiry committee, which reported inApril. The committee made a host of otherrecommendations—including one that themaximum retail profit on the wholesale priceof fruit be limited to 33 1-3 per cent—butthe Government apparently has wisely decidedto begin cautiously. Although fruit andvegetables are-to be brought within the scopeof the Primary Products Marketing Act, themarketing will at first be entrusted toVoluntary organisations-ofgrowers. It should,however, be noted that the committee advisedthat if "lack of unanimity among any set ofproducers" should lead to delay in the settingup of a marketing authority, the MarketingDepartment should be given summary powersto establish it. The Minister himself seems{slightly sceptical >oi£y the possibilities ofvoluntary and it will probably befound that when the Act is amended, powersof compulsion Will be provided, for use ifnecessary. In the meantime, more informa-tion is needed concerning the powers whichare to be delegated to-the growers' organisa-tions.

NEWS OF THE DAY.
Vegetable Supplies Increase.The warm rain of the middle of the week
brought on vegetable crops with a rush, andthe shortage is relieved for a time. Cab-bages, cauliflowers, carrots and parsnips werein much more liberal supply at the city mar-kets yesterday than for some weeks past. Theincreased supplies are particularly welcome,as demand for vegetables has increased con-siderably this cold weather. In the past fort-night retail priccs for potatoes, onions, car-rots, parsnips and Brussels sprouts have goneup.
Pioneers' Graves.An effort is being made to raise a private
fund to supplement what can be provided outof rates for the upkeep of the historic andpicturesque graveyard that surrounds St.Stephens Chapel in Judge's Bay, Parnell. Inthe little wooden chapel itself the constitu-tion of the Anglican Church in New Zealandwas formulated just 80 years ago, and signedupon the altar. Pioneer missionaries, Govern-ment officials, soldiers and humbler folk liein the churchyard. In 1936 the land wasvested in the Auckland City Council, but thecouncil has had little money to spare for theupkeep of the cemetery, and a supplementaryfund is now being raised by a committee,which includes Canbn TV. Fancourt andMessrs. G. A. and J. C. E. Kissling.
Treasure Hunt.A planned treasure hunt on Sunday
Island by three Aucklanders, Messrs. W.Clark, of Weymouth, J. B. Clark, of Karaka,and W. Code, of Weymouth, haa been aban-doned in the meantime for the reason thatthe Government has sent to the Kermadecgroup an expedition which will car: y out a 1thorough topographical survey in the courseof its work. The men believe that gold orother treasure is hidden on Sunday Island,their belief being based on information givento the Messrs. Clark, who are brothers, by thelate Mr. Thomas Bell, who lived on the islandwith his wife and family from 1879 to 1914.It was their intention, if gold or other metalwas found, to seek the place where it wasmined. It had been proposed to acquire ascow for a preliminary visit, and to makelater a more comprehensive inspection.
Too Many Trees.With the passing of the years many of
the trees planted on the Wellington Town Belthave grown beyond all expectations, and insome cases views of the city and harbour havebeen obscured. In raising the question at ameeting of the City Council, the Mayor, Mr.T. C. A. His]op, said he thought that the timehad come for some attention to be given tothe representations made from time to timeby householders and others. After all, it waspossible to have too many trees. Mr. A. Par-lane said he considered that too many pineshad been planted in Wellington, He thoughtthat the reserves committee might considerthe planting of more naft.ive trees. On theMayor's motion it was decided to ask thedirector of parks and reserves to report onthe position.
Ancient Buried Logs.Fourteen feet below the surface in Dur-
ham Street, Christchurch, two well-preservedlogs—one of manuka and one presumed to berimu—were found by men excavating for' anew storm water drain (says an exchange).These logs, which were found in river silt,have been examined by experts and are con-sidered to be about 1000 years old. The logswere from 12 to 14 inches through, and layacross the drain, so that the workmen had to°bop a section out of each, leaving the rest inpositibn. Parts of them have' been dressed byMr. Charles W. Barrell, who is a collector ofspecimens of New Zealand woods The manukaretains its normal hardness, weight andcolour, but the piecc which is presumed to berimu is very dark in colour, being almostblack. Another opinion is that this mav beblack pine with its natural colour changedthrough being underground so long.To Check Cattle Stealing.
The necessity for brand; ng cattle in allcases where possible was stressed in theSupreme Court at Blenheim by the Chief Jus-tice, Sir Michael Myers, when reviewing theevidence in a case in which cattle stealing wasalleged. He said he could quite understandthat in a pastoral district such as Marl-borough a case of this kind was of very greatimportance for many reasons. It was impor-tant becausc in very many cases of allegedsheep and cattle stealing proof was somewhatdifficult. His Honor did not see why theperson who bred the stock on his propertyshould not place at least an earmark on it.Touching upon a point which had cropped upduring the hearing of evidence, when a droverstated that it was a common practice to turnstraying cattle into an adjoining property toprevent their becoming mixed with anotherherd, his Honor said if this was so it was adeplorable practice, and one entirely disregard-ing the jiehts of the owner of the propertyinto which the cattle were turned withoutpermission. jDrainage of Lake Ellesmere.
After negotiations extending over a periodof years, the Ellesmere Lands Drainage Board,in conjunction with the Canterbury ProgressLeague, has been able to complete arrange-ments with the Government for the provisionof a permanent outlet for the waters of LakeEllesmere to the sea to prevent the floodingof farm lands when rough seas close the pre-sent outlet. The scheme provides for theconstruction of a mole some 14J chains long,the sea end being in a depth of 30ft of water.'The height of the mole, which will be built ofrock, will be 18ft above the mean sea level,with a width of 12ft at the top of the mole.The scheme is estimated to cost approximately£120,000, and it is considered that between200 and 300 men will be employed for thethree years the work will take to complete.Of the £120,000, about .£70,000 will be paid inwages, and £15,000 of the whole cost will haveto be provided as a cash donation by theratepayers before the work is begun. 'Stepswill be taken immediately to apply to theLocal Government Loans Board for the neces-sary loan of £15,000, to be spread over a longperiod of years, and for the taking of a pollof the ratepayers.
New Stamp.Similar in shape and size to the Anzac
stamps, the 1937 health stamp will be issuedin October. The design was prepared bjMessrs. G. Bull and J. Berry, of Wellington,and the stamps are to be produced by thenote printing branch, Commonwealth Bank ofAustralia, Melbourne. The design depicts ayouthful tramper on a rocky promontory.The value is Id postage and Id health.
Street Collection.The sum of £144 19/6 was collected as a re-
sult of the street appeal - conducted in Aucklandyesterday by the Young Men's Christian Asso-ciation and the Young Women's ChristianAssociation. The sum was made up mainlyby small, amounts, and is regarded as satis-factory in view of the Coronation appeal whichis being conducted by the Y.M.C.A. at thepresent time.
Frozen Beer.Very cold conditions were experienced ona recent night in the back country of Canter-
bury, and many hot-water cisterns and pipescould not stand the strain. Most of thehouses at Avoca were without hot water thefollowing morning, but ihe position was worseat the Bealey Hotel. The proprietress, Mrs.R. Ferguson,'reported that practically all thebottles of. beer and soft drinks had burst,leaving the broken glass lying round thefrozen drinks. All the motor lorries in thatdistrict had to be thawed out with hot waterbefore they could be started.
Church and Totalisator.Speaking yesterday at the Wellington
Diocesan Synod, Bishop St. fearbe HollMidsaid that the offertories had increased by £357,subscriptions by £399, and contributions toextra parochial objects by £914. Althoughthere had been these increases, Bishop Hollandsaid he thought on the other hand that it wasonly right to suggest to the Church membersthat the small increase in offerings to theChurch's work was not at all in proportion tothe extensive increase in the takings of thetotalisator and other objects, which were bene-fiting by the better times New Zealand wasnow experiencing.
The Gardens of Christchurch."Put it bluntly—Christchurch has only
the Avon; all the other centres have naturaladvantages," said Mr. H. L. Darton, secretaryof the Canterbury Horticultural Society, at ameeting of the society. Without its gardens,he said, Christchurch would be dead. Itsrecognised beauty was entirely due to man,"People are too apt to take their gardens forgranted," said Mr. Darton. During his tenyears' connection with the society, the stan-dard of its shows hail risen to a very highlevel—higher, indeed, than people realised. Itwas the vistors- who appreciated the gardensn Christchurch. Many of them asked especi-
ally to be shown the beauty spots of the city,and both in conversation and in their lettersthey praised the gardens highly.
Firemen's Flats.The flats which are being provided for
Wellington's fire-fighting force at the newstation at Clyde Quay and Roxburgh Streetare almost luxurious. The married men arcto reside in the fiats on the Roxburgh Streetfrontage—three and four-roomed homes thatare fitted and finished in a style calculated toplease the most fastidious taste. The fiats arefinished in sound-proof building board, andhave the latest style in wallpapers. Thereare handsome tiled fireplaces in the livingrooms, all of which overlook a central tenniscourt and garden. Each flat is fitted with hotpoints and the latest electrical devices; eachhas a furnace incinerator and hot watersystem; each has two washtubs, and each sinkis supplied with hot water. The kitchens,very compact, have built-in cupboards and thelatest stoves. The handsomely-railed stair-ways are built of selected rirnu (stained), andall fittings, such as door handles and cupboardcatches, are of the best quality. Moreover,each flat has a section of flat roof as a sunand drying area.
Protecting the Public.Aucklahd'a comparative freedom from the
sale of doubtful "cures" and "quack" medi-cines to the public was commented upou to-day by Dr. T. J. Hughes, Medical Officer ofHealth, in reply to an inquiry, He said thetrouble recurred periodically, and that at pre-sent Auckland was having a respite. TheHealth Department, in co-operation with theCustoms Department, the wholesale drugtrade and advertising mediums, exercised con-stant vigilance to protect tße communityagainst the introduction of new concoctionsand publicity material which was likely tomislead the unwary, and also supervised thelabels attached to mixtures and proprietorymedicines made in the Dominion. Under thelaw, said Dr. Hughes, it was required thatthe labels shall comply with the provisionsof the Food and Drugs Act, and statementsregarded by the health authorities as liable toconvey a wrong impression had to be amended..Thus the word "cure" was frequently changedto "alleviate" or some word of similar mean-ing.
Signs of Progress.Some striking changes have been noted
by the Government valuers who are at pre-sent engaged in a revaluation of the city,after a lapse of 12 years or more. It is thevaluer's business to note everything of value,and when he sets out on his inspections hecarries in his pocket a field book which con-tains details of all improvements at the dateof the previous valuation. Thus he can recordalmost at a glance the additions made in theinterval. Most obvious, apart from the moremodern design of houses, is the great increasein the number of garages. Either on thestreet front, at the back of the house andapproached by various routes more or lessdifficult, under the house, they are remark-ably diverse in size and construction. Prob-ably not as diverse, however, as in Welling-ton, where garages, perched precariously onsteep roadsides, like houses and beck gardens,are almost built "on air." Scarcely leSs con-spicuous than the garage to the valuer is theübiquitous wireless mast, of varying height,slant and thickness, which at the time of thelast valuations, between 1922 and 1925, wassomewhat of a phenomenon. There are partsof Auckland where, viewed from a. suitablevantage point, these masts suggest a forest.
LABOUR IN GERMANY.
AMERICAN EMPLOYER'S VIEW.
A discussion of the economic and politicalstatus of Germany Is presented here in adispatch by the publisher of the "ChieagroDaily News." Co'onelFrank Knox is studyingconditions In Europe on an extended tour of
the Continent.BERLIN, June 16.
In. all the world, prior to the Great War,Germany was a pioneer in what might becalled social and industrial progress. Herethe labour union movement attained a sub-stantial universality, and collective bargainingfirst became . the bulwark and defence of theworkers' rights. It was in Germany tinderBismarck that social insurance had its begin-nings in marking out boundaries of entirelynew realms of social responsibility. Despitethe fact that all this development had itsorigin under, a monarchy, animated by theancient doctrine of the "Divine right ofkings," freedom of the German worker toexpress himself, enjoy the right of a freePress, assemble in his meetings and there dis-cuss without fear his wrongs was unchallenged.
The Golden Era.Along with this progressive programme,
designed to ensure to the German worker hisdue share in the profits of industry and toguarantee him his individual rights as aproducing member of society, there was acontemporaneous era of amazing industrialand commercial progress within Germany.German skill in industry challenged competi-tion; collaboration between capital and labour,under an intelligent arid universal labourpolicy, gave Germany economic entry intoworld markets. The period in Germany whichsaw the rise of the labour union and the col-lective bargaining principle was unquestionablythe industrial golden era in German history.
It is because of this background of Germanindustrial and social progress, achieved underthe auspices of industrial and social freedom,that present industrial and social conditionsin Germany, when impartially and objectivelysurveyed, shock and dismay the observerincredibly. It may be that the world neededa lesson in how human progress is made—what contributes to that progress—and whatretards social advances. If this, in the inscru-table ways of Providence, was what the worldrequired, Germany undoubtedly is the toolthus employed—and with consummate effect.
The Contract.Under the free social order in Germany the
nation led the world in many departments ofscience and the mechanical arts no less thanshe did in social progress for the worker. Incommunity sanitation and health protection,
�in impeccably honest administration of greatindustrial cities, in many departments ofhigher education, in medicine and surgery, inadaptation of chemistry to industrial uses andin many other fields, German leadership wasfreely acknowledged. All this, under a free-
jdom that gave vent to individual initiativeand enterprise.
| Under authoritarian, totalitarian, Fascist,Nazi philosophy—call it what yon will—whathave we? No-individual liberty. No freedomof speech. No free Press. No free assembly.No persona] rights whatever, and hence—nofree labour unions, but a compulsory "LabourFront." No collective bargaining "for wagesor hours or working conditions. No industrialprogress. No world markets for German goods.No German leadership for the world in scienceand the mechanical arts. Deterioration in allforms of social progress. All forms of highereducation stultified and mocked. Everybody,everything regimented to suit the purposes ofa political autocracy. This is Germany of themoment.
Labour and Dignity.How utterly the German labour
movement has become, how Incredibly servilethe spirit of the workers, how indifferentGerman leadership to the welfare of those wholabour, cannot be better set forth than bya direct quotation of the words of Dr. RobertLey, national head of the Labour Front, who,in addressing a group of coal miners inSeptember, 1935, said:
"The main issue with the working manis not his ridiculous wage of pennies, butthe dignity of his position; and ultimatelywage questions settle themselves if tlie worker
Tespeets himself. In the last resort, the mineworker cannot be paid with money at all;what he receives is only a petty remunerationfor his unremitting labour. It is thereforeall the more ridiculous for people to haggleabout such little things."
One could not ask for a more perfectillustration of the colossal stupidity, the utterinsanity, that characterises both the utterancesand actions of the Nazi regime with respectto labour problems than is to be found inthe foregoing quotation from the man in Ger-many who speaks officially for the Germanworking man.—(X.A.N.A.)
THE CHANNEL TUNNEL.Six million weeks of work for 20,000 men,
the spending of more than £30,000,000, andin five and a half years England and Francecould be linked together, declare the advocatesof the English Channel tunnel scheme. Alreadyexperimental boring has taken place on eachside of the Channel. If the scheme is adoptedGreat Britain would benefit considerably. Atleast 988,000 tons of steel plates and 120,000tons of cement would be needed. Miners andrailwaymen would have to extract and trans-port 3,590,000 tons of coal required in themanufacturing of these materials. Six yearsago the tunnel scheme was nearly approved bythe Imperial Parliament. Members of allparties supported it, but the Imperial DefenceCommittee decided that for strategic reasonsit would not be advisable- The building ofthe tunnel fsays the "SundayPictorial") wouldbe as profitable an investment as the SuezCanal has proved to be. It lias been estimatedthat at least 4,000,000 people would use thetunnel every year. If these paid no more thanthe average charge for the present crossingby boat the gross passenger receipts would be£3,200,000. To this is to be Added freight
revenue. Of the total gross revenue of£4,000,000 working costs would take £500,000,leaving a net income of more than 10 per centon the capital cost of construction.

THE PASSING SHOW.

It was probably the good roads whichNorth Auckland nov/ has which prompted theold identity to tell of the early days when

"Remember thetime," he said (he did not give the particularlocality), "when a traveller commented onthe thouglitfulness of somebody putting upa couple of to mark a particularly badpatch of the highway.

Bullock drivers and golfers, how-ever, are not the only membere of the publicwho occasionally obtain this status of speech-lessness. A certain curate in a backblockregion of Australia was attempting to visita far-off parishioner one day. The curate,accompanied by his wife, was attempting todrive a two-wheeler one-horse buggy overroads sufficiently slushy to make our Winter-less North look like the Sahara. Eventuallythe horse stumbled and fell, breaking one ofthe shafts. The reverend gentleman remainedmute.

"Touchstone" writes: Playful repetition isa legitimate device in the hands of a goodwriter or speaker, but its exercise calls for
great discretion. It isON WORK. with great pleasure,
therefore, that "Touch-stone" has discovered a perfect passage in aspeech by Mr. Serapie, who was described bya Southern newspaper recently, though byaccident, as the Minister of Public Words."Many of the men," he said, ''had probablynever worked before, had not had the opportu-nity to learn to work, had had no incentiveto work, or had forgotten how to work." - Itmay be objected that this is not "playful"repetition, and it is true that there is morework than play in it. But it is a good effort,whatever else it is. Let us set it alongsidea classic from the "Merchant of Venice," wherePortia chides for having given awaythe ring she -had pledged him with:
BAS. Sweet Portia,If you did know to whom I grave the ring.If you did know for whom I gave the ring,And would conceivefor what I gave the ring,And how unwillingly I left the ringWhen naught would be accepted but the

IN THE PUBLIC MIND.GROWTH OF AUTOCRACY.
ACCELERATION SINCE THE WAK.
(To the Editor.)Prom early times—in fact since men eon-menced to form themselves into social groum
—one thing has always been in evidence, viz_the desire of the governing powers, whateverthe form of Government, has been to take tothemselves a greater amount of power, andthe people have from time to time resistedthis tendency; hence revolutions and Rimii^ rupheavals. Since the Great War this universaltendency has been greatly accelerated, result-ing in the growth of autocratic powers in aomany States of Europe and other parts ofthe world. New Zealand has not been freefrom this growing movement towards auto-cracy, and the last Government showed thatit had been affected by this virus, ae instancedby the introduction of Government by Order-in-Council, and in various other ways. Onemight have expected the present Governmentto have risen above this love of power asLabour and Socialistic thought has alwaysgiven lip service to the democratic ideal. Thatthis has not proved the case is instanced byits actions in connection with the treatmentmeted out to the B radio stations; its inter-ference with road transport; and various otherways which readers will readily call toIt would that one of the greatest needsof the times is the formation of a vigilancecommittee in the form of a Freedom Leagueto take note of and bring before the peoplethe various encroachments upon their liberties-otherwise it will not be long before thedom of speech and of the Press will be loet,as is the
_
case with the freedom of radiospeech, which is so rapidly disappearing. Armwe British people to wait supinely whiie ourliberties, which our forefathers won at sadja cost, are calmly f.lched from us?
NEW ZEALANDERS, WAKE UP.
JAPAN AND CHINA.
In 1931 Japan invaded Manchuria. Herreason was that there was unrest there andmany bandits, so she sent Japanese soldier*to stop the trouble. At that time I replied,through the newspapers, against this propa-ganda, for if there was unrest the ChineseGovernment could have looked after it, or ifit was not strong enough, could haveJapan to help it. But Japan came uninvited.Japan used the same way to make war inShanghai, and now what is the way she ktrying to get into Peiping? Japan's purposeis to get Peiping—if she is not successful sheVpl never sleep soundly. She got Manchuria,put now she finds everything upside down,just like a man who has swallowed somethinghe cannot digest. Japan is very anxious toget North China as soon as possible, but diemust give a reason for doing so—she saysthat it is hard to believe China, as Chinahas not kept faith with her. Now I �TiiTtfrthe people in the world find the Chinese honestpeople. I do not say that every Chinese ishonest, for there are good and bad in everynation, but the average business man is honestin his business. Before the Japanese werein Manchuria there was alwavs an open doorthere and European friends 'could build upbusinesses there, but Japan has closed the doorto other countries. The Asia Oil Companybroke down, the American, French and Rus-sian banks have closed their doors, and a bigGerman company—Simon and Company—whichhas been trading in Manchuria for 50 years,has now had to close down. Now do you t.lihiVthat that kind of peoplecan be trusted? Theysaid, "Open door," then why did they notkeep their word? They eay they cannotbelieve the Chinese people, but I t.hfnV thevare the same as those people Jesus told to"First cast the beam out of your own eyesbefore you can pluck the mote from yourbrother's eye." Prince Konoye says that theanti-Japanese agitation in China had forcedJapan to take a grave step and send troopsfrom Manchuria. Korea and Japan to NorthChina. Now China is an "open door* nation,and many countries are represented there.Why are the Chinese not against any othernation—only against Japan?" The answer isthat Japan always forces China, so the,mistake comes from Japan herself. Japan'says China is against her, but as the mistakecame from Japan in the first place, so sheshould be against herself and net againstChina. Japan would like to get into NorthChina, "but I think she will not find it suchan easy job, and that she will learn a lesson.

WOMEN ELDERS.
Your correspondent Mr. Tucker may techni-cally be correct when lie save the Scripturesknow of no "women elders," but suppose wespeak of "elder women" who because of specialqualifications are to be "added to the number."Their qualifications are very definitely givenin the tpistle of Timothy. It might be wellto note that the word "wives" is the sameGreek word for "women" and could be. andshould be, in my judgment, translated.women. As a retired minister I can saywith truth that wherever we have had womenassociated with our board of elders and deaconsthey have been of inestimable value. Theyave wisely dealt with difficulties and withthe instruction of our younger women as noman, whether elder or deacon or any otherministers of the Word except evangelists,could possibly have done. Just as it is theduty of the elders to teach and shepherd theChurch and the deacons to visit the sick andpreach the Word, so it is the duty of theelder women, as official elder women, to teachand care for the women of the Church. Callthem deaconesses, if you will; translated, itsimply means servants. But to be s-uecessfulthey must have the qualifications laid downin the Word and the distinct appointment ofthe Church.

I suggest that the managers of suburbanpicture houses may consider screening after-noon performances' during the week. TheSaturday afternoon matinee is usuallv a child-ren 3 programme. In any case, Saturdayafternoons, and also evenings durinu the week,are inconvenient for maTried women, as hus-bands and children are home.

Mr. Jardine threatened to "blow offthe lid and expose the real reasons"for the abdication in his first addressat Baltimore, which takes place nextThursdav.
He added that a political alliancebetween Earl Baldwin and the Arch-bishop of Canterbury had forced theabdication, and was leading to the dis-establishment and disendowment of theChurch.
Continuing, he said: "I think theArchbishop of Canterbury has actedscandalously. It is a most caddishthing to kick a man when he is down.His whole attitude was un-Christian.

based on an assertion by an Aucklandamateur that he heard a 'plane fromthe Lexington report that it hadsighted the flyers are believed to havebeen due probably to the amateurmissing the word "if" in the conversa-tion between the 'plane to the Lexing-ton.
The Lexington planned to end hersearch to-morrow owing to the factthat her fuel will be exhausted. Blister-ing heat and rain squalls to-day delayedthe scarch, which is now consideredhopeless.
The San Francisco "Chronicle" says 5thas learned unofficially that Mrs. Put-nam was "engaged 011 a high patrioticservice, which is better left undisclosedas to detail."
This recalls former rumours that shehad intended to become officially lostfor the purpose of claiming islands inthe Pacific.
The Navy Department has no infor-mation regarding Mrs. Putnam and Mr.F. J. Xoonan, and does not believe theNew Zealand rumour of radio messageshaving been picked up there mentioningher discovery by searching seaplanes.
Rumour was current in the city thisforenoon that radio messages had beenintercepted locally to the effect that Mrs.Putnam and her companion had been seenby a eeach seaplane from the Americanaircraft-carrier Lexington, which k using42 machines in the vicinity of HowlandIsland, the flyers' intended destination onthe hop from New Guinea.

Jones, referring to the cabled reportthat the New Zealand Government hadoffered to assist in the search for Mrs.Putnam's 'plane, states that H.M.S.Achilles, which is now making its islandcruise, has reached Honolulu, and inaccordance with a general request issuedto shipping in the Pacific kept a care-ful look-out during the voyage.
The Minister is not aware of thesource of the information on which areport published in Auckland this morn-.ing relating to signals has been based,and the Post and Telegraph Departmenthas no confirmation of these messages.He is inquiring into this matter becauseit would appear that some messagespicked up from the air by a licensedradio listener have been published incontravention of the conditions of receiv-ing licenses.
To show the danger of publishing un-!confirmed reports of this nature Mr. IJones mentioned what had occurredearlier in the search when a messagealleged to be from the missing 'planewas later proved to be a dramatisationof the search efforts by what is believedto have been an American broadcastingstation.

British Official Wireless.
(Received 12 coon.)
RUGBY, July 16.Mr. Anthony Eden, Foreign Secre-
tary, in the House of Commons lastnight said that if the British non-intervention proposals were acceptedthey could provide a means of makingnon-intervention effective, of limitingthe risk of the conflict spreading, andof confining the Spanish war toSpaniards.
If they failed, and non-interventionbroke down, then Europe would enter
upon a new and more perilous phase.He continued: "You will have un-
checked the export of arms to bothsides. You will have rumours, impos-sible to check, of arrivals of large num-bers of volunteers. You will go backinto an era of grave peril, in which inci-dents 6Uch as have already marked, andmust inevitably mark, a civil war of thiskind will have much deeper significance.
"We have sought to discharge ourtask equitably, and everyone will agreethat we have done it rapidly. TheBritish Government believes that theseproposals are a contribution to Europeancollaboration, and therefore to peace."
Meanwhile the Council of Ministers inParis is reported to have instructed theFrench Ambassador in London, M. Cor-bin, to accept the British proposals inprinciple.
Accepted in Principle.An earlier cable message stated that
the Non-intervention Committee ad-journed after an hour's meeting. Italyand Germany accepted the British pro-posals as a basis for discussion.
The Italian and German Ambassadors'speeches followed the Earl of Ply-mouth's introduction. M. Maisky(Russia) has not spoken. M. Corbinasked for an adjournment until 4 p.m.to receive further instructions from hisGovernment.
The Australian Associated Press diplo- jmatic writer understands that althoughBritish circles are inclined to be opti-mistic, the fact that all readily agreeddoes not necessarily indicate a smoothpassage of the British proposals intoeffect.
Lord Plymouth said that extendeddiscussions next week would be frownedon, but France, Russia, Germany, Italy,Norway and others indicated that de-tailed discussion was necessary on cer-tain aspects.
It is regarded as likely that unlesssome breakdown occurs the talks willdrag on for a long period.
Russia, later agreed to the non-inter-vention plan as s basis for discussion,and the committee adjourned.
The chairman's sub-committee willmeet on Tuesday next.

The Earl of Plymouth, chairman, em-phasised that the plan was essentiallya compromise. The proposals were in-tended to provide a workable solutionacceptable, if not wholly satisfactory, toall parties. As unity of action at seawas no longer possible, it was essentialfor the Governments with naval respon-sibilities to seek the best means ofavoiding the risks of ships becoming in-
volved in incidents.lie added mat In the view of the
British Government the precise condi-tions in which limited recognition of
belligerent rights would operate in prac-tice should be discussed forthwith, and
it trusted that co-operation would en-
able satisfactory detailed arrangements.Members of the committee paid a
tribute to the work of the British Gov-ernment in producing the scheme. TheGerman and Italian representatives,after complimenting the British Govern-ment, said they were prepared to recog-nise the plan as a basis for discussion,agreeing that speedy action was essen-tial.
M. Corbin (France) emphasised theimportance attained by France to theinterdependence of the withdrawal ofvolunteers and the granting of belli-gerent rights.
The Soviet representative acceptedthe plan as,a basis for discussion, andreserved the right to offer amendments.
The Portuguese Ambassador indicatedthat his Government was willing to re-instate obsi-rvers on its frontier whena similar course was taken on thePyrenees.

Clandestine InterventionWill Go On.
FRENCH ATTITUDE STIFFENS.
United Press Association.—Copyright.
(Received 11.30 a.m.)
LONDON", July 16.Newspapers agree that the British
Labour party did not like the job ofcriticising the Government's non-intervention plan in the House ofCommons yesterday.
The speech of the Leader of theOpposition, Mr. C. R. Attlee, waspitched on the lowest key, and instruc-tions were given hie followers to talkout the motion and thus avoid adivision, indicating that the executivewas not united in its decision to raisethe subject at all.
The Liberal leader, Sir ArchibaldSinclair, said it was his opinion thatthe Government ought to take astronger line regarding the nationswhich subscribed to the non-interventionagreement. He urged that the Britishplan be given a trial, but said thatnevertheless there must not be a com-promise regarding the withdrawal ofvolunteers. Xobodv must be allowedto drive a wedge between Britain andFrance.
Mr. Winston Churchill emphasised theimportance of the fact that if the non-intervention conference disputes hadgone to a division, 23 of the 27 Powerswould have followed Britain and France.This added tremendously to Britishprestige.
After further speeches the motion wastalked out.
Hagtliaf Over Details.The "Manchester Guardian" diplo-
matic correspondent points out that theBritish plan is not open to the chargeof favouring either side. Recognition ofbelligerency accompanied the conditions,outweighing any disadvantage theSpanish Government might suffer.
The probability is that Italy and Ger-many will accept the plan "in principle,"and thereafter play for time by hagglingover details and endeavouring to securemodifications. The outlook for the timebeing is for theoretical non-interventionwhile clandestine intervention will goon as before.
The "Manchester Guardian" Parisrepresentative says the French Govern-ment is critical of certain features ofthe plan, which is considered to comenearer the Italo-German than theFranco-British proposals. Hence, thepleasure expressed at Berlin and Romedoes not cause surprise.
France will not submit to inter-national controllers if the Portuguesefrontier is protected merely by British"observers." The phrase "substantialprogress with withdrawal of foreigntroops" as a condition for belligerentrights is considered too vague.
France will also insist that belligerentrights allow only General Franco andnot Italy and Germany to interfere with
iFrench shipping.French Cabinet Inflexible.
Cabinet is inflexible that withdrawalof volunteers must be the corner-stoneof the scheme, otherwise there is noquestion of France recognising belli-gerency.
The French Press is gloomy about anyresults except interminable discussionsand. negotiations.
In Berlin, official comment continues tobe reserved, but the difficulty of with-drawing volunteers is stressed.
The Rome Press regards the Britishplan as evidence of a change of frontdiscomfiting France. It is understoodCount Grandi, Ambassador in London,will insist that no faith can be placedin the word of the Spanish Government,and that the technical difficulties in thewithdrawal of volunteers are insuper-able.

There was, however, a fairly generalfeeling that something should be doneto eliminate wastage in marketing, toestablish f'.t-finite standards on whichprice* cc/kl be based, and also to raisethe iMur.n to the grower, particularlyin view of the ri<ie in costs.

"It is notthe growers' fault, for they have noinformation<to work on, but the over-supply of the markets at some times andthe shortage at other times results inconsiderable loss to the growers."
Standatdisatioh was' as essential, hesaid, as in the export trade. "But," headded, "we don't want too many grades.Four should be the maximum."
He however, that it wouldbe difficult to create a single channel forthe marketing of fruit and produce. Sup-plies arrived by train, lorry, motor car,coastal launch and steamer, and weredistributed by the same means. Therequirements, not only of the towns,but also of the country districts, hadto be taken-into account. Voluntaryarrangements would not be satisfactory."I have no,faith in a voluntary scheme,"seid Mr. C.oi>y/ay. "Whatever machineryis set up to make, for better marketingconditions must apply to everybody."
Protecting the Grower.An expression of the growers', view-
point was given by Captain. A. A. Cur-rey, president of the Commer-cial Gardeners' Society, Lt&»'Who said:"We, as an industry, are. HJn;;jiavour ofthe licensing of all producer* engaged inthe growing of berries, fruity flowers andvegetables ,;for sale,., regardless of howmuch they grow, but we 4° not want tobe concerned with the marketing. Thesuccessful grower is too busy to give hisattention to that."
Captain Currey referred particularlyto tomato growing. He.iutid the averagegrower wanted protection against theoperations of small producers who culti-vated tomatoes in time, per-haps on a Saturday or; Sunday. ' '■*-
"We are being affected by the labodrlegislation of the Government," he said,"and we-must have some certainty ofrecuperating our outlay. We should notbe exposed to the competition of those
/ who have no wages to pay and workunrestricted hours. It is only fair thatthe whole crop should be,produced andmarketed '-under:.condition*.?"MarkeQi^^^t./m^*h iggledy- pigMledy' £t this 'iresetft timfc?said a I'ukekohe grfcwefcmore particularly to vegetables. Thegrowers will welcome any form of con-trol that will give them a stabilised
I" market and a fair return for theirlabour. In any scheme that is adopteddue attention should be paid to planting.By that I mean there should he a system;established that would prevent gluts'if possible. White potatoes ai* ecarce

License to Grow..Ov-V--Another grower, while seeing the
p, advantage of a stabilised market,if; expressed the liope that it would not be|pvnecessary for every small farmer to take
out a license to grow any particularcrop. Too much Government interfer-ence on the farm would not be appreci-ated, he said. "The State has tfied its
. • band at onion control," he said. "Thatfi';";- does not seem to have worked out tooj* well for anybody, and I understand that
merch.mts are to be allowed a free■ hand to import any quantities until the
new season's crop is harvested. I havebeen in the market gardening businessall my life. I have grown cauliflowersat a profit" and cauliflowers at _a loss.That is inseparable from the business. Icertainly would like to see a schemewhereby the Government would pay forany losses that mightaccrue froin gluttedmarkets or destruction of crop* from
„ drought or garden pests."I - Mr. E. Turner, of Turners and Growers,jfe: Limited, said he felt no concern iregard-§?'■ ing the proposals." There was nothing
new in the scheme. . Th? Governmenthad already taken action in ' respect tobananas, oranges and onions. He did
> not. know . how, the vegetable marketcould be controlled, but.soraescheme
'' would probably be introduced. "The
j§ proposals, are a genuine attempt to helpthe industry." he added.
A leading city frnitf retailer gave hisopinion that the scheme could accom-plish very little. The • object of thereview of the industry was stated to bethe raising of the return to the grower,and the lowering of priees to the con-sumer. In such a highly competitivebusiness, he said,, the-second aim .was.practically impossible of attaiiynent.
Regular fruiterers, he said, were *üb-ject to the keenest competition, fromOrientals and from a continuous proces-sion of novices Who opened shops onlyto close them again when they found
# that the fruit and vegetable businessworked on the smallest margin of profit.In no other industry was competitionso intense. Only in the fruit businesswas the public allowed to buy freely insmall lots in the wholesale market.
The clerical work and inspection■j which would apparently be entailed inthe scheme, he stated, would tend toaggravate the rising trend of prices.
Already increased labour costs were, forcing growers out of business, andmany who had taken to market garden-it in 8 jand fruit growing when out ofwork during the depression were going
back to their'" old trades.. This decline in the planting of allvegetables had already resulted in a rise
V i? *hich had benefited growers.Thus the control scheme, which wasdesigned to men hardship during the
m* depression, was iu> 'longer needed.
TAKING RISKS.
MUSIC HALL TRICKS.
DANGEROUS CYCLISTS.LESSONS OF PROSECUTION.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
CHRISTCHURCH, this day."The fact that a North Island cyclist
was fined £2 for cycling with both handsoff his handle-bars is evidence of actionby the authorities to deal drasticallywith those cyclists who deliberatelyexpose themselves to injury, or worse,on the roads. The lesson behind theprosecution is one which Christchurchriders may profitably lay to heart," saysthe latest safety message of the Auto-
mobile Association, Canterbury."A cyclist who does not have, at all
times, a satisfactory grip on the handle-bars, does not have his bicycle underproper control, and he must be liable tothe same attention from the trafficauthorities as anyone, else who sees fitto use a vehicle not under proper con-trol.
"In a spirit of bravado or imaginedcleverness far too many of our numerouscyclists practise music-hall tricks inbusy thoroughfares without, apjwireutly,giving any serious thought to the ton-sequences which might, and sometimesdo, attend such tricks. It io no uncom-mon experience to note cyclists, han:lsin pockets, travelling smartly along theroadways in front of motor vehicles,"the risks run by such cyclists are verygreat for very obvious reasons. Thesudden turn of the front wheel maymean a wobble or a swerve in the trackof a motor car, truck or a tram. Oddly jenough, these cyclists of the dangeroustype choose the middle of the road, orthe direct path of overtaking traffic, <and thus increase the chances of collision.
Trick Riding in Traffic."No matter how expert a rider may
think he is, he is not expert (jnough to|get away with trick riding in traffic for'long; and he is not expert enough to'correct a sudden wobble or swervebrought about by an unnoticcd roadirregularity, or a tram line groove,particularly if there is a fast overtakingvehicle close by.
"It is the cyclist who comes off worstalways and if riders will not realisethat, the inspectors and police willapply protective measures in the properway. There is enough carelessnessabroad on the roads in the ordinarycourse of traffic .without motorists,. andothers, having to contend with deliberateacts of negligence in the use of bicycles,and instances of the application ofofficial correctives such as thatreported' in- the North Island wouldserve as a much-needed stimulus to thoseChristchurch riders who need suchreminders of their duty to themselresand others."

RICH HAUL.
ARE SAFES SAFE?THIEVES TAKE £150.
USE NEW TECHNIQUE.FACTOR'S- ENTERED.
Makers of safes will have to buildtlieni with much stronger backs if theyare to resist the attacks being made by-Auckland eafebreakers. Burglars witha. technique all their own are operatingin Auckland, and for the third timewithin the last three months a safe wastorn open last night by the new method.A picture on this page shows thedamaged safe.
It was a rich haul. Burglars whcentered the factory and office of theWalnut Butter Company, 134, NewNorth Road, selected one of two safesin the office, carried it into the factory,laid it beneath a mechanic's bench,ripped tlie back off with cold chisels andother tools, and extracted £150 in notesand silver.
This was the third time a safe hasbeen opened by ripping off the back.Only a few weeks ago another safe inthe office of a Stanley Street foundrywas similarly dealt with, the only differ-ence being that the safelireakers—orsafe openers—did not secure more thana pound or so.
Was Not Touched.Entrance to the Walnut Butter Com-
pany's factory was gained by breakingtwo panes of glass in a back window. Toenter the office the thieves had to breaka pane of glass near the lock in thedoor. One <>afe much stronger than theone opened was under a counter in thegeneral office. It was not touched bythe thieves, but the other, hiddenbeneath some curtains in the office ofthe manager, Mr. Allan Sawyers, wascarried into the factory and openedbeneath a bench. The thieves foundeverything they required to open theEnfe. There were cokl chisels, a brace
I and bit, hammers, etc.. on the bench,I and above, in a mo>st convenient position,
[ a bright electric light. <
j First of all the operators used a hack-f saw and sawed through one of theI hinges of the door of the safe. Butthey gave this up as a bad job and thentackled the safe from the back, wherethere was only a comparatively thinsteel lining of double thickness.
Brought Some Tools.The thieves brought some tools of
their own. One was a large iron instru-ment that would give tremendousleverage if applied to the back of asafe after the iron lining had first beenremoved. In the picture showing thedamaged safe the. door is seen. Thiswas not removed by the thieves, but bydetectives when they examined the safethis morning.
Before he left the office last eveningabout 6.15 the manager, Mr. Sawyers,locked about £200 in the safe. Themoney comprised cheques valued atapproximately £50, and the rest wasin £5 and £1 notes, with a small sumin silver. The thieves did not botherabout tne cheques, which they leftstrewn about the floor. The office had
: been thoroughly ransacked, the drawers,together $rith their contents, being lefton the toj» of the manager's table.
The •btn&lary was discovered shortlyafter seven o'clock this morning whenMr. Sawyers arrived.
MAN DEAD IN CAR.
FATAL DOSE OF POISON.
"SHROUDED IN MYSTERY.-,

Constable J. Cummings said that hehad gone to the car with ConstableEdwards and Dr. Appleby and foundthe body huddled in the back. Thevehicle, which was not damaged, wasin gear;, with ignition switch on. Theyfound a full tin of strychnine on thefloor of the car. They also found twoscrew tops off half-pint bottles of whiskyand a half-pint bottle of whisky. One ofthe screw tops contained a considerablequantity of poison and smelt stronglyof whisky. Deceased's lips also showedsigns of a certain poison. Dr. Applebyhad carried out a post-mortem examina-tion and the police had made exhaustiveinquiries in the district but had failedto find any evidence whatever for theman's action.
The Government analyst's reportstated that one and a half grains of apoison had been recovered from thestomach. This amount was more thansufficient to cause death.
A verdict that death was due topoisoning was returned. The reason forthe man's action, added the coroner, wasshrouded in mystery.

"OUT OF TUNE."CAMBRIDGE BAND.
MEMBERS AT LOGGERHEADS.
COUNCIL TASKS A HAND.
(From Onr Own Correspondent.)
CAMBRIDGE, this day.The Cambridge Borough Council de-
cided this week that the town bandshould go into recess for six months andthat its members should be asked toband in their uniforms and instruments.
A letter was received from the sec-retary of the band, Mr. W. White,advising the council of the appoint-ment of Mr. W. Meanie as conductor.
Another letter, signed by ft numberof the bandsmen, read as follows:-—"Wetake this opportunityof approaching thecouncil in connection with the MunicipalBand and its affairs. In the first placethe band is very short of players. Thiscould be remedied if we joined the band.However, we have.no faith in the abilityof the newly appointed bandmaster, Mr.W. Meanie, and consequently will notplay under him. The band, to our mind,cannot function as it is at present, andwe think that matters will not get anybetter in the near future, so we respect-fully suggest that you take up thematter and put the band on a goodfooting or eke disband it. We certainlythink that Cambridge is capable of put-ting on a much better band than it hashad in the last year or so."
"Always Been Trouble.""It appears that there has always
been trouble in the band," said Mr. W.Moore.
Mr. Edgar James: The band is in adeplorable state and the council shouldtake a hand in the matter.
Mr. M. Wells: We should sit on thesubsidy until the band sees reason.
Mr. James (the council's representa-tive on the band committee): Therewere plenty of troubles: last, year and Ihad a very distasteful time. The councilshould call in all instruments and com-mence all over again.
Mr. Moore: It doesn't matter who isbandmaster; there are two parties andthey will always disagree. >
Mr. James: The only thing is for theband to go into recess until all grievancesare settled. I do not want to discouragethe present memWers of the band, butthe trouble will have to be overcomebefore the band can carry on.
Mr. Wells suggested that all bandsmenand intending bandsmen should be askedto meet the council and to bring theiruniforms and instruments with them.
Mr. James: I have said before that aband is essential in Cambridge, even ifit only plays the National Anthem,oncea year. I am not blind to the fact thatthe present position is impossible. If theband goes into recess something may bedone later. I have no sympathy forthe petitioners; they are making theposition impossible for the others.
It was finally decided that, the bandshould go into recess for six months, orsuch time as the members showunanimity among themselves.
TRAINING SCHEME.
MEN FOR FARM WORK.SUSTENANCE AND WAGES,
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, Friday,Designed to meet the acute shortage
of farm labour, a scheme formulated bythe New Zealand Farmers' Union, totake men off sustenance and train themas farm workers, has been approved byMr. J. S. Hunter, Under-Secretary' forLabour. It is expected that the schemewill be operating soon. The men willreceive £1 a week ae sustenance fromthe Government, ' and the farmeremployers will pay them an additional£1 2/6. ■
The scheme was suggested to theunion by Mr. D. B. Higgins, Matamata,who said that there were on sustenancein Auckland hundreds of men suitablefor farm work. A committee wasappointed to place the proposal beforethe Government. To-day Mr. Higginsreported that the plan had . beenapproved by Mr. Hunter, and would nodoubt be confirmed later by the acting-Minister of Labour, the Hon. P. C.Webb.
SWEDEN PLEASES.ENGINEER'S TOUR.
HIGH STANDARD OF LIVING.,
PRIDE IN APPEARANCE.
Appreciating the potentialities of the ■widespread use of the oil-fuelled engine,.Mr. W. G. Wallis, a Dunedin engineer,left this country 18 months ago forGreat Britain via the Suez Canal. InScotland and Sweden he worked inseveral plants and studied the latestmethods of engine construction and
design. He returned yesterday by theAraw a with Mrs. Wallis and their smallson, after seeing the world, and with athorough knowledge of oil engines at]his fingertips.
In Glasgow Mr. Wallis studied con-struction on the two-cycle principle and[then proceeded to Stockholm.
There he was very impressed by themodernity of the method* employed andthe scrupulous inspection given everyengine. "They examine every minuteitem in manufacture and then, after theassembled machine had been tested, itis dismantled and inspected again. Inship construction the use of oil-filledengines haa developed very rapidlyrecently, chiefly on account of the mag-netic coupling system. This meansapparatus of lesser weight and the inde-
pendent operation of any or all of four
separate engine unite according to the
necessity or power desired."' The magnetic, coupling system, he
1 added, was being Widely used, and! during the feW months he spent in
■ Sweden no fewer than 24 orders were! placed with one company for ship
' engines on that principle- —one of the1 most recent to be incorporated in ship
. designing."Conditions in Sve'en are very good,
especially the - *Iv They
are practically under a Labour systemof Government. When the works closeat the end of the day you cannot tell themen who clean the casting from theoffice clerks—they are all clean anddressed alike. They have their ownbath and dressing rooms in the fac-tories. There appears to be no classdistinction, and you never see a man inthe street m his worKing clothes. TheSwedes take a great pride in theirappearance and their houses.
"There is practically no unemploy-ment there; everyone is working tocapacity with armaments, and so on."The position was very different in Scot-land, however, and Mr. Wallis said ,hewas very disappointed with that coun-try. "The slums are terrible," headded. "There is a big shortage ofengineers in Scotland, particularly on theClyde. The wages are low, and althoughthere has been some improvement, andmen receive bonuses, they have littlechance ever of improving their lots."
DANGEROUS MYTH.PURE RACE THEORY.
HITLER'S PHILOSOPHY.
MASQUERADING AS SCIENCE.
"Racialism is a myth, and a dangerousmyth, masquerading as science. Hitler'sracialism is not new, nor is his anti-Semitism." In these words Dr. I. L. G.Sutherland, Professor of Philosophy atCanterbury College, attacked HerrHitler's rallying cry of racial purity inGermany, in an address, and proceededto outline the reasons for the persecu-tion of the Jews (states the Christ-church "Star-Sun").
"•
i
The old and long exploded theory ofthe Aryan race had been revived byHitler and his numerous professedlyscientific supporters, Dr. Sutherlandremarked. They had justified theirviolent campaign against the Jews, byidentifying the Nordic race, of whichthey maintained that the Germans were,on the whole, the most typically repre-sentative, with the Aryan. They hadattributed to the Nordic race all impor-tant advances in culture and in the his-itory of civilisation.
The tall, fair-haired Nordic type, themedium statured, round-headed Eurasi-atic type, and the short, dark-haired,long-headed Mediterranean type werethe three ethnic groups in Europe, andthere was no evidence to show thatthose stocks once existed in a state ofgenetic purity, he added.
Science knew of no such thing as apure race. Nationalism now representedit«elf in Germany in the guise of racebacked by what could only be describedas an outrageous perversion of science.
After reviewing attempts by Germanscientists to justify the doctrine, DrjSutherland said that during the depres-sion the competition of the Jews in theprofessions, in commerce and in retailtrade had proved embarrassing, and ithad been convenient to treat thein as acollective scapegoat. The Jews, origin-ally of mixed descent, were no more adistinct race than were the English orthe Germans. They varied as muchas, or even more than, people in Europe,and they formed a special kind ofnational group with a definite religiousbias and with peculiar historic tradi-tions. One thing that had held themtogether was a sense of common suffer-|»ng.
The Nordic race was, like the notionof pure races, hypothetical, and it couldbe said that most of the great achieve-ments of civilisation had occurred in
i regions of the greatest mixture of types.

RARE STAMP.
GIRL PAT ESCAPADE.
TRAWLER'S ADVENTURES.TRIP ACROSS ATLANTIC.
A stamp unique to philatelists, andrecalling one of the most romanticadventure stories of modern years, hasfound its way to New Zealand on anenvelope addressed to Mr. J. Raethel, a
I prominent philatelist of Matamata.The stamp, which is of a large blue
design, was printed in connection withthe Girl Pat escapade of a year ago,when the skipper of a Grimsby trawler,Captain George Orsborne, and hisbrother induced their crew to take thevessel from England to West Africa andacross the Atlantic to British Guiana.
Captain Orsborne, after refuelling inthe Basque country of Northern Spain,called at one of tlie Azores islands andmade a vain search for a mythicaltreasure. Disturbed by British war ves-sels the crew sailed on to Dakar, WestAfrica, where they obtained fbod and
water. Thev then "sailed to Georgetown,British Guiana. Early this year, theGirl Pat was taken back to Englandand put on show at various ports.
On the understanding that a specialmail would be carried by the Girl Patfrom Georgetown to England, a com-memorative stamp was printed andaffixed to letters, which the postalauthorities seized as illegal mail andreturned to the senders.
The special Girl Pat stamp is of poorworkmanship, the imperfect perfora-tions being particularly noticeable. Itcarries at tlie head an Admiralty crownabove the words "Girl Pat" on a scroll.Tlie principal design is a map of the!North Atlantic, with a sketch of a fish-
; ing trawler in the sea area. At thei lower corners are reproductions of a jlarge swordfish, with its sword held in
! tlie jaws of another big fish. An anchorland trident are superimposed on theliish.

ENDORSED.OVERSEAS VIEWS.
N.Z. EDUCATION SYSTEM.
DR. A. B. PITT'S OPINION.
Comment was made in a general waythis morning by Dr. A. B. Fitt, Professorof Education at the Auckland UniversityCollege, on the conclusions reached bythe delegates to the New Education Fel-lowship conference which has justfinished. Dr. Fitt is also president ofthe newly-formed Auckland group of thefellowship. He agreed with moet ofwhat had been said, particularly by Dr.William Boyd and Professor F. W. Hart.
"Educationists in the Dominion willagree in the main with.chief tendencies,of the conference and with the chiefcriticism levelled by the lecturers against
the New Zealand educational system, orat least against the basic structure uponwhich our system stands. It has beena revelation to our teachers who havenever been abroad to iind out how very
and almost completely out°' W* Dominion schooling systemis."^
"The educational conference has beenan undoubted success when judged bythe tremendous interest shown in everyphase of its work by all sections of edu-cational workers as well as by thepublic," Dr. Fitt said. "The very highagreement manifested in the solutioji ofthe various problems would seem to sug-gest that the conference fell at the cor-rect psychological inomentwhen a stronginner drive in the educational mind wafcstruggling to:the surface.
"The issuesfor which the conferencestood are new in the sense that they*are not yet generally practised in theworld's. educational systems; they areold in. that they .have been with theworld'* great thinkers and reformers formany centuries. Their age does, notweaken their force or Validity—for thetest of time, is surely their strongestclaim, to'^§ge%s:'
"Great Good Hut Come."Great good moat come from the efot*:
cational renaissance, he added. The'interest and: determination of the thou-sands of aieri>apd women experiencingit would guarantee that. That wouldnot be so assured if the teachers alonehad been affected, -.'hut the important jpoint was that administrators a andseveral eeetioi&of thegtneralfrblieiiatfflas well been involved. It was ratherfortunate, too, that the eonferenoe fell 1just at the time wKeikthe Government jwas planning for educational reorgani-sation. It w«s generally understood,too, that the Government intended toconsult the New Education Fellowshiplecturers in regard to its programme forreorganisation before those distinguishedpeople left New Zealand. '
"Briefly, the main trends of the eon*ference are the freeing of the teaelieraa a professional man or woman, thefreeing of the child m a creative and.expressive individual, the broadening ofthe conception of education to cover allage group* iup to and including maturity,to include within lt« scope the full intel-lectual, emotional : and bodily develop-ment of man, andprocess ,o£ education.'<oif the servkee ofparents, and other eectlone of the publica* well as teachers.

LONELY SETTLERS.
MEN ON SUNDAY ISLAND.
| APPEAL TO GOVERNMENT.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)WELLINGTON, Friday,
i At their own request, four of theseven settlers on Sunday Island, in theKermadec group, are to be evacuatedby the Government motor ship MauiPomare, which left Wellington for theisland this week to land & small Gov-ernment expedition, in the charge of Mr.J. E. Anderson, which is to carry out ex-■ploratory work on the island.
J "For some time past there has been'amovement to promote. the settlement ofSunday Island by a group, under theleadership of Mr. Venables, known asthe Sunday Island Association," said theacting-Minister of External Affairs, theHon. F. Langstone, in an interview to-night. "There are at present on- theisland Messrs. Bruce Robertson and A.Bacon (arrived May, 1935), J. Sneddon(arrived September, 1036), A. and L.Flewellyn (arrived December, 1036), andT.-Grant and A. McGee (arrived April,1036). Mr. Venables' association is notto be confused with the company knownas Kermadecs, Ltd., which is at presentendeavouring to establish a settlementon the island.
"It will be of public interest to knowthat on June 14 H.M.S. Achillas, calledat Sunday Island, and with considerabledifficulty landed a party for naval pur-poses. The officer in charge had hardlyset foot on the island v/hen serious com-plaints on the part of some of the set-tlers were the order of the day, and anurgent request was made by the dis-gruntled settlers to be shipped back toAuckland. - This request could not begranted, as the Achilles was bound forthe Tongan Islands and other ports.
Shortage of Provisions?"The 'Jail by the Maui Fomare, which
left Wellington a few days ago, wasmade because the Government found itnecessary to send a email party, to. theisland to carry out certain exploratorywork, this party being landed from theMaui Pomare to-day. Mr. Andersonstated lit a radio message that if thesettlers' were not removed from theisland there might be such a demand onthe Government party's small supply ofprovisions that a relief ship would haveto be sent forward to rescue the expedi-tion. In response to this urgent requestthe Government has agreed to removethe four settlers from their sorry andunenviable plight.
"I consider this development should beknown by the public," concluded theMinister. "I trust there will be novfur-ther attempts by misguided persona tosOttle on this island. Those who parti-cipate. in such hare-brained schemes arenot really deserving of pity, but'ratherof" public censure, because they delibe-rately get themselves into trouble andthen request public assistance to extractthem."

TRANSPORT CONTROL.
STATE SCHEME OPPOSED.FARMEBS' BESOLUTION.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, Friday."Your fear that the taking-over of
long-distance freight services by theBailway Department is a preliminary totaking over all forms of goods transportis quite unfounded," said the Minister ofTransport in a letter read by the presi-dent of the New Zealand Farmers'Union, Mr. W. W. Mulholland, at theanuual conference to-day.
The Minister said the Government'sproposals covered only 197 trucks out ofa total of 45,000 in the Dominion. TheGovernment was not arbitrarily strang-ling road transport in favour of therailways. The sole aim of the Govern-ment was to increase the efficiency ofall forms o" transport.
The conference adopted the followingresolution: "That the conferenceentirely disagrees that single ownershipof transport services is essential to effi-cient operation, and state* emphaticallythat if co-ordination can be broughtabout only by the elimination of smalloperators it will be too dearly purchasedand the idea should be abandoned. Themobility and flexibility of motor tran-sport would be largely destroyed ifsmall units were eliminated. The state-ment that only 197 trucks out of 45,000are affected shows that the action cau-not effect the co-ordination of transportas suggested unless a very much greaterextension of control is intended."

STATEMENT BY WOMAN.
HOUSING ACT PROSECUTION
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)DUNEDIN, Friday.
The question whether the warrant ofan inspector appointed by the City Cor-poration under the Housing Survey Actwas valid without being issued underthe seal of that body was raised in thePolive Court by Mr. C. J. L. Whiteduring the hearing of two informationslaid under the Act. The defendant wasMaida Emmeline Frew, who pleaded notguilty to refusing to supply informationas required by the Act and toobstructingan inspector appointed under the Act.
When Ernest JamesKing, an inspectorfor the City Corporation, produced hisform of authority Mr. White, on behalfof Mrs. Frew, objected to it on theground that it was not issued under theseal of the corporation, but was merelysigned by the town clerk. He maintainedthat witness had not been properlyappointed by the corporation.
The magistrate, Mr. H. W. Bundle,agreed that there might be someinformality in the appointment,but saidhe thought the witness should have theopportunity of putting the matter beforethe city solicitors. He reserved thepoint in the meantime.
Continuing his evidence, King said thattwo of the council's investigators calledat defendant's house and as a result ofwhat they reported he visited the hovsein company with one of the inspectors.Mrs. Frew refused to allow * them tomake an examination of the premisesand also refused to supply any informa-tion.
The magistrate said that the wholematter seemed farcical, more especiallyas defendant intended vacating the housevery shortly. He then asked defendantif she would fill in |the papers.
"Why should IT" defendant replied."I have will power of my own andsomething tells me that I should notfill them in. A# a matter of fact Iwon't fill them in."
The magistrate warned defendant that•ha was liable to a substantial fine ifShe persisted In her refusal.; "What if I can't pay the fine?"defendant asked.
"Then you will go to gaol," themagistrate replied. • \
"All right, I'll go to jaoli but IH justnot fill in the paper*," said defendant.The magistrate remarked that thematter was trumpery an* adjourned theesse until Monday.;....
"MENACED."PEOPLE'S LIBERTY.
GOVERNMENT CRITICISED.
tt SPOON-FED» WORKERS.
(From Oar Owo Correspondent.)PALMERSTON N., this day.
"The position of New Zealand at pre-sent is yery serious; the property andthe. liberty of the peoplp are beingmenaced/' declared the Hon. J. G. Cobbe,M.P. for Oroua and formerly Ministerof Justice, during an address at Apiti.
"The aim of the Government seems tobe to obtain control of the business, thecapital and the landed property of thepeople and administer the whole in theiitm» of the State," he added. "Thepolicy of a' Socialist Government is tospoon-feed the -worker on the one handand paralyse his self-reliance on theothers To the farmer and the businessmaw they offer with one hand a visionaryUtopia of ease and comfort, while theycarry in the other the degrading fettersof State control. We don't want theSovietism of Russia in New Zealand.New Zealand was not built up bytalkers; it was built up by men andwomen who toiled and saved. Its earlysettler* were possessed of vision,courage and enterprise. Have we in-herited their eelf-reliance, their love offreedom and their sturdy independence?
"If we submit to the regulation ofSocialism, what about the future of therace ? Will those who follow us be ableto tttand ifp ae free men and women andlook the whole world in the face, or willtliev be poor, cringing creatures, all ofone type; drilled into one class and onecreed, under the blighting tyranny ofState control? I cannot believe thatthe people of New Zealand will ever sinkso low.
'Revolutionary Socialism.'"I cannot believe this land of ours
will ever fall so low as to become ahotbed of revolutionary Socialism. lamsatisfied New Zealand wants sane,steady, common-sense legislation; no-thing showy, speculative or one-sided.Class legislation is an intolerable inter-ference with individual liberty.
"The time has come when everyonewho has any real regard for the main-tenance of the national honesty andhigh principles, which have been thepride and strength of our land, shouldfor the sake of the country and him-self begin to take a practical interestin public affairs."
Describing some of the measure*passed last cession as being of far-reaching and disturbing character, Mr.Cobbe said the Reserve Bank of NewZealand Amendment: Act might haveultimately a very serious effect on thefinancial affaire of the Dominion. Itwas a great mistake to think that whena bank was. nationalised control of itpassed into the hands of the people.

The threads of each romanceare gathered skilfully together andmoulded into a balanced film. As thechild._ Bonita Granville deserves specialmention. Full of enthusiasm for every-thing she undertakes, this young etar actswith a full appreciation of dramatic-values which is unusual in one so young.

MESSAGES GIVEN.
I PHYCHIC PHENOMENA.
Arthur ford lectures,
Speaking into a microphone which hecupped in his two hands, never liftinghis voice above the conversational,changing from ipe&sage to commentwithout effort, Mr. Arthur Ford, theinternationally-known lecturer andclairaudient, interested a large audienceat the Town Hall last evening. He gavea lecture on psychic phenomena .and apsychic demonstration under the aus-pices pf the Quest Club and. PsychicInstitute.
Mr. Ford referred to the fact that themovement he represented had been ham-pered continually by charlatanry andfakery. It was apparent that hiedesired to give no colour to his expres-sion of the "science" he taught. . . Hephrased his address carefully withoutthe use of technical terms, and; apartfrom the dimming of the hall lights andhis plea for silence that his concentra-tion might not be disturbed, there wereno "stage" and no "spookiness" -effects.
For each message given, he asked con-firmation from members of the audience,calling upon them by name and givingnames and identifying details during thecourse of the message. Whether all wereacknowledged in the hall could not beseen, but one woman and her husbandwho were called by name showed excite-ment ' and nodded agreement. Thesedemonstrations were given at the endof the meeting and were carried on fora period of about half an hour, about12 messages being given in that time.All were personal greetings and severalgave special messages of consolationandadvice.
Mr. Ford in his lecture traced therise of "modern spiritualism" from thequesting period of the world that hadfollowed the growth of scientific investi-gation. Condensed, he said, the ques-tion that was asked was, "Is there lifeafter death, or is there not?" Heclaimed that modern spiritualism provedthe affirmative answer to that question,that life continued on a higher Btrataafter death, character being unaltered inthe change which gave "another chance"to the human spirit. He quoted evi-dence from the words of famous scien-tists, living and dead, and spoke of thedisaster that overtook the British air-ship RlOl. In that case, he said, warn-ing had been given through a mediumseveral months before the mishap inwhich the particular structural faultsthat caused the accident were outlined.That warning was on file at the AirMinistry, in London, he said, and hadbeen referred to the committee thatinvestigated the tragedy.
Mr. Ford outlined, too, the growth ofspiritualism, which had now 30,000,000adherents throughout the world, withpsychic research organisations in everymajor city. Many orthodox clergymenhad incorporated it in their teachings.Of any 100 noted scientists that couldbe named, he said, he could prove that50 at least were actively interested inspiritualism.

Most men agree with him. They likelips that are soft and natural. You avoidthat painted look with Tangee, becauseTangeeisn't paint. It intensifiesyour ownnatural color...makes your lips lovelyand alluring. If you prefer more colorfor evening wear, use Tangee Theatrical.

PENWOMEN'S CLUB.
Provocative Address onProgress of Women.
An address on "Women's Place In theJioilern World" was given at the Pen-womi'ifs Club by the. Rev. A. RussellAlderton. yesterday afternoon. On his
recent visit to Loudon, lie said, hewalked past the House of Lords andsaw the beautiful statue erected of Mrs.Emily l'imkhurst.. He visited theAbbey and saw the memorial plaque inthe women's chapel -to Mra. Henry Faw-cctt. The quest*o»f "to-day was, whatuse had women made of the opportuni-ties fought for by these' pioneers "ofwomen suffrage ?'... He considered thatB great deal of good had resulted, butthere was still much to be done. In theprofessional and business World womenoccupied only secondary positions. Inpolitics women did not an impor-tant part. It was a fact that wonienin the eighteenth century exercised morepower in the political world than thewomen of to-day.
Althoupli the women hadopportunities there was apparent dis-integration of the homes and a lack ofreverence and respect in tlie youth ofto-day. He considered the youth ofto-day were very much behind the timesand did not play their, part in the busi-ness of life as did the youth of the pastgeneration. * "
The women of to-day, through theirlove of pleasure and wrong sense of:values, had lost the position they for-merly held. Women had succumbed tothe tyranny of the exporta, and theresponsibilities and privileges of bring-,ing np children were undertaken bynurses and kindergartens, and the ehar-acter-building activities of youth insti-tutions. It was his hope,'that womenwould endeavour to substitute activitiesin the home for outside activities. Thepresident, Mrs. Carr Rollett, presided.
held earlier in the afternoon. Mrs. T.E. Richards sang pleasingly "HappySong" and "I Was Dreaming," Mrs. W.McKinney acting as accompanist.

GERMAN INVASION.
International Scenes and Affairs.THE NEWS BEHIND THE NEWS
AIR WAR WARNING.
GENERAL GOERING SPEAKS.BERLIN.
General Goering, the German Air Min-ister, broadcast from all German radiostations a striking warning to the popu-lation on the need to prepare againstattack from the air. "Do not he mis-taken," he said: "Ouractive anti-aircraftforces cannot suffice to protect Germanyfrom all attacks. Every..man and womanmust' take his and her share in prepara-tion, in training, in case war shoulddescend upon Germany again."
The National Air Defence Leaguealready has 65,000 local branches,400,000 supervisors, 12,000,000 members,of whom 5,000,000 are well trained,2400 teachers and 3400 schools ofinstruction in afr defence methods.
"All this has been done by voluntaryeffort. There is an example which othercountries might follow. Only by havingan air defence which is ready down tothe last man can we show the worldthat no country can bring us to ourknees.
Almeria Bombarded."The days when Germany could be
humbled are past. Those who did notunderstand that have been shown unmis-takably in the last few days" — anobvious reference to the bombardmentof Almeria in reprisal for the bombingof the Deutschland.
"When German blood has been spilt,"he continued, "it cannot be washedaway with ink. Blood must makeamends.
"In the next war women will play animportant part in air defence. The men,so far as they are capable of fighting,.will have been drawn, into the ranks ofthe combatants. The few who remainbehind will be busy in factories, ensur-1ihg the essential supplies of munitions.
"Therefore, it devolves upon the Ger-man woman tio show that she is worthyof her historic ancestors, who astonishedthe whole world by the way they resistedthe advance of the Romans when theirmen had fallen. We cannot afford tohave weak, nervous women."
"We know," he continued, "that worsethan shells and bombs is the effect ofpoison gas. But we now have a populargas mask, hitherto kept secret, which isproof against all kinds of gas. It isnow available in- millions for! youGerman men and women."
MEAT MAKES MEN BRAVE.

LONDON.Does the consumption of meat encour-
age the spirit of adventure? ProfessorE. P. Cathcart, Regius Professor ofPhysiology at Glasgow University, askedthis question when speaking on "SomeProblems- of Nutrition," at a conferenceof the Association of Teachers ofDomestic Subjects at British MedicalAssociation. House, London.
"Can the lack of the spirit of adven-ture and of initiative which many pro-fess to find in the young man of to-day be, in part at least; ascribed *to alower consumption of meat protein?" heasked. "Certainly all the facte wouldsuggest that the use of meat protein isdiminishing among certain classes, bothin this country and America."' Was it possible, Professor Cathcartcontinued, that the national outlookdepended on the prevailing diet of therace. A Dutchman had said a hundredyears ago: 'If you want- to be brave andstrong as a lion, eat as the lion; if youwant to b£ gentle and meek as the cow,,&t as the cow.'.';,;' -v
"In these days," he continued, "wehave heard such a lot of talk about howinactive the League of Nations is. Whatkind of av League would it be if allmeat-eating were banned in the world?Brotherliness at once. It is somethingto think about," (Laughter.)
, Professor Catbcart: expressed the viewthat it was probably advisable, althoughnot essential, to include meat proteinsin the diet. The emotions and psycho-logical changes played their part in mal-nutrition.
"Malnutrition of ther" spirit can havea most devastating effect on the body,and probably there is as much malnutri-tion of the spirit as of the body in theworld to-day," he concluded.

JAP. SMUGGLERS.
MENACE IN CHINA.
HEAVY TARIFF LOSSES.
SHANGHAI.Japanese smugglers, who were so suc-
cessful last year that the Chinese claimlosses in tariff revenues equivalent to15,000,000 dollars, or 20,000,000 dollarsin American currency, are now offeringtheir services to American business meninterested in the North China trade.
Whether American firms will takeadvantage of the offers remains to beseen, but circular letters are now beingdistributed by Japanese transportationfirms (smuggling companies) statingthat they are able to import merchan-dise 'into China at one-fourth the regu-lar Chinese tariff. The letterheadswhich the Japanese companies use con-tain Chinese names, but the charactersand ideographs indicate Japanesenationality.
The Japanese companies transportmerchandise into North China by wayof the Japanese port of Dairen, on theSouth Manchurian coast, and throughthe so-called East Hopei zone, embracingabout one-third of Hopei province southof the Great Wall. It is charged thatthey enjoy close connections, with theauthorities of the Japanese Kwantungarmy, which controls Manchukuo, andalso the JapaneseNorth China garrison,which doipinates North China.
One of the Japanese transportationcompanies known as Pai Fu and Com-pany stated in its letter received by anAmerican firm in Tientsin: "We are theonly Japanese transporters . which youmay entrust for bringing such cargofrom Darien to Tientsin."
Military Protection.Although the Chinese authorities at
first attempted to block Japanesesmugglers along the railway leadingfrom Manchukuo through the GreatWall and the East Hopei zone to Tient-sin, they found thte impossible becauseof the protection accorded the smugglersby the Japanese military authorities, t
Chinese Customs officers, includingBritons and Americans, as well asChinese,. found their efforts blocked andeven their lives endangered by a horde'of . smugglers consisting of armedJapanese ronin (outlaws) and Koreans.Finding their efforts blocked on thisfront, i the Chinese authorities had tocontent themselves with attempting toestablish a cordon around Tientsin.
But this has likewise been ineffective,as Japanese smugglers now operate avast fleet of trucks, which carrysmuggled merchandise protected byarmed guards through the Chinesecordon to interior parts of the country.Japanese smuggled merchandise is nowto be found in all sections north of theYangtze River.
Of primary interest to Americans isthe threatened loss of one of the mostprofitable kerosene markets in theOrient, which for years had been mono-polised by American oil companies. Thefirst smuggled Japanese oil began toappear on the Tientsin market in thesummer of 1936. The volume rapidlyincreased until recently it was estimatedthat 2,100,000 gallons of smuggledJapanese kerosene had reached Tientsinfor distribution in the interior.
Disruption of Finance*.An additional 2,000,000 gallons, also
smuggled, was distributed within the so-called East Hopei demilitarised zone.Of the total 4,100,000 gallons brought inby the Japanese in this manner, only210,000 gallons was of American manu-facture, the remainder being Japanesebrands.
While China's financial losses in herCustoms establishments are important,the disruption of the internal finances ofthe country is even more serious.
Japanese smuggling, now internation-ally recognised as a. phase of Japaneseaggression on the Continent, began inthe middle of 1935. The first smugglersbrought their . merchandise into NorthChina on the Peiping-Mukden railway.Later this was augmented by the use oftrucks and other means of conveyance.Now there is actually a breach inChina's tariff wall of 150 miles wide,through which . Japanese smugglersscurry with thousands of tonß ofsugar, miles of cotton cloth, tens ofthousands of pounds of artificial silk,cigarette papers and more recently kero-sene oil, gasoline, and large quantitiesof opium and other narcotics.
FASCISTS SUSPECT.
MURDERS IN FRANCE.
CLEARLY A POLITICAL CRIME
BAGNOLES (France)The slayers of Carlo and Ncllo Roselli,
anti-Fascist Italians who lived in France,had 30 hours to escape before the bodieswere found near here. The Roselli bro-thers, expatriates who had activelyopposed Mussolini's regime, were foundslain a few miles from their overturnedautomobile. • Both had been stabbed andCarlo was shot through the head.
Police said they had established thatpeasants saw four men leave the vic-tims' car and speed away in another car.All trace of the second car was lost.Carlo Roselli's widow came to Bagnolesand identified the bodies.
Police seized 50 letters and newspaperarticles in the Rosellis' hotel room andsent them to Paris; for study, hopingthey would provide a clue.
Mane Dprmoy, Minister of the Inte-rior, announced thatall Italians living inFrance would be; placed under surveil-lance as part of the attempt to solvethe killings. One Italian suspect wasreleased! after questioning. Police saidit was clearly a "political" crime.
A police agent disclosed that anautopsy showed the men were slain witha dagger and their bodies dumped besidethe road. Investigators believed a dag-ger bearing the word "Eroi"—ltalian forheroes—was placed beside them as a"signature" of the crime.
Robbery theorxs were nb;:n;lt>ned \ylicii25,0tt0 franca (about 1100 dollars) werefound in Carlo's pockets.
"SHOCKING NOISE."POLITICAL SPEECHES.
"MIKES" AND AMPLIFIERS.
DIFFICULT TO CONTROL*
(From Our Own Correspondent.)SYDNEY, July 10.
The recent Woollahra election cam-paign has had some rather unexpectedrepercussions.
This week in the City Council Alder-man McElhone drew the attention of theLord Mayor to the "shocking noise" pro-duced bythe long-range microphones andamplifiers which the candidates em-ployed, and he mentioned with mingledresentment and awe that the voice ofMr. Mason had been heard through hisradio over three miles away from King'sCross, where his speech was delivered.He was supported by Alderman Marks,who, being chairman of the NoiseAbatement League, was most sympa-thetically inclined. The council thereforeresolved that the town clerk, Mr. Hendy,should confer, with the city solicitor todiscover whether any legal steps couldbe takjen to anticipate public nuisancesof this sort and to check them.
When Mr. Hendy was approached bya "Hareld" representative to learn whatpowers, the civic authorities possess inregard to such matters, however, thetown clerk could, give no positive orsatisfactory answer. He admitted thatthe City Council could do little to checksuch"nuisances, for though it can prose-cute, it cannot prohibit.
It seems that there are two classes ofnoises dealt with in the Sydney Cor-poration Act and the City Council by-laws. One class includes noises on thestreets, and the other those within thebuilding line.
Powers of Police.The police have full power to deal
with noises on the street, which maypossibly cause an obstruction to traffic.If a man had a loud speaker on a lorryand collected a crowd to hear him, so asto congest the traffic on road or foot-path, the police might order him todesist, and on his refusal might arresthim, but no such powers could be exer-cised by the police in regard to noisesmade inside a house. Further, thecouncil could not legally anticipate thecourse of events and prosecute a man onthe assumption that he might be prepar-ing to create a noise in contraventionof a city by-law.
This principle seems to apply to thecase of loudspeakers, as discussed in theCity Council. Mr. Hendy has beendebating this matter with the legalexperts, and he has come to the con-clusion that, however desirable it maybe to prevent politicians from speakingthrough microphones and amplifiers instentorian tones, yet "the principles ofBritish justice would have to be followedand action taken only after an offencehad been committed."
It must also be understood that prose-cution for breach of a by-law does notrender the repetition of the offenceimpossible. For instance, there is a cityby-law against blasting within the citylimits, but many people are prepared togo on blasting rock away when theythink it necessary, taking the risk ofprosecution and fine. Similarly, even aby-law against the use of loud speakersat public meetings might be in a sensesuocessfully defied, and in short the taskof enforcing order among politicianstrying to shout each other down mayprove much more difficult than it mightat first appear.
SO THEY WORKED.
ARMY OF LONGSHOREMEN.
FINE DAY ON WATERFRONT.
Just across Quay Street—a merestone's throw from the imposing mer-chant and shipping offices which flankthe other side of the way—a small armyof men went to work yesterday—asmall army such as the average citizenrarely sees. They were the longshore-men, and they went to work because itdid not rain.
If, instead of the chilly fog thatengulfed the city, skies had poured downrain, the men would have been idle.That has occurred on several' occasionsrecently, and the amount those wet daysmight have been worth in cash may beestimated at a surprisingly substantialfigure. i
A day lost by rain is a day withoutpay for the watersider; or if a call ismade before the rain halts work, it i«so much lost money for the employers.To J;he importer it means a day moreto wait for his goods, to the shipper anadditional day's storage to pay. Fora snip With mail contracts a day loatis a serious matter and may occasionallymean leaving port with cargo still underhatches.
Yesterday, with half a dozen deep-water vessels and as many coasters alldischarging at top speed there was aheavy strain on transportation facilities.In the holds of ships gaping squares con-taining tyres from Canada, buildingmaterials and implements, miscellaneousproducts from far-away manufacturingcountries and petroleum from the Gulfof Mexico, men from the army of long-shoremen worked with slina and snotter.Over coamings others worked, and soin the sheds, on the piers, visible andinvisible, the army raised, transferredand stacked up large quantities of goods,boxes, crates, packages and parcels.
Inside the wharves, between the cargosheds, another kind of well-ordered pan-demonium was going on. This wasmost noticeable at Prince's wharf, wherea whole fleet of lorries, some stackedhigh with goods, others empty and rejturning eagerly for more, see-sawedf,jammed, cleared and backed for hours.In- short, ,it was a busy day on thej Auckland waterfront.

CITRUS FRUITS.INDUSTRY EXAMINED.
CAN N.Z. SUPPLY ITSELF?
FRTTTiTHTWARY SURVEY.
(From Oar Own Correspondent.)
WELLINGTON, this day.During the regularly recurring discus-
sions over the shortage of citrus fruitson the Dominion markets, a comprehen-sive survey has been going on regardingthe possibility of developing productionso that New Zealand can make herselffairly independent of imported fruit.The historical, cultural and economicaspects of the industry have been setout in what is called a preliminary sur-vey written by..Mr. W. M. Hamilton, anofficer ot thie Department of Scientificand Industrial Research, and publishedini substantial booklet on the authorityof the Minister ip charge, the Hon. D.G. Sullivan.
' The 'suitability t of New Zealand'sclimate for citrus fruits was tested bythe missionaries as-'fsr' back as 1818,when a few eweefc orangp pips werebrought from Sydney ana plaited atKerikeri, Bay of lslarids. Two treesgrew, and. both are still; hearing fruit,one at the residence, of the Misses Kempat Kerikeri, and the other at Mr. W. H.Mountain's residence at Waimate North.Several commercial nurseries wereestablished in the Auckland districtabout 1850, and there have since beenconsiderable plantings of sw£et oranges.
Suitable Localities.; -The' liability of icitrua trees to, damagefrom frost limits the area of suitabilityIn the 1Dominion, and only about 7 percent,of present plantings occur svith ofAuckland Province. The official surveydiscusses, this, aspect fully, and describesall the areas in which citrus trees are
.]p«ttringv"the"MO*fc 'extensive groves beingat Kerikeri, where there are 11,498 lemiontrees and 20,205 orange trees. Thisarea is considered suitablefor furtherdevelopment, as also areother places inAuckland Province' which are known tobe free from frost.
It is also suggested.that suitable areasfor eitrfls plantings'are along the shoresnfTanranga. Harbour close to this eea,the area behind Te Puke, and the Gis-borne 'area Which is stated to be particu-larlysuited for the growing of sweet
Zealand grape-fruit forfate South Island'markets., .Though.Nel-son ,wjte. not. included in the survey,owing tolack of information,gested tliat certain anas there'<ssenrreasonably free from damaging froftts,and could be utilisedto supply localrequirements. • .<
-}A. :,.'J Economic Factors,. ;
The inquiry included the question ofcosts of production in :<!bmpetitive coun-tries ' *«amp*r^ thosefrcn .- Miwr' oJne»gfe; • viCMlfor-
nian costs, it is shown, averaged 2/OJtor oranges, and 3/5} for lemons perpacked case, the New Zealand figurebeing about 4/5J per case exclusive ofmarketing. Maintenance costs are highin California, and the survey, after dis-cussing other factors in production, con-cludes with the opinion that assumingthpt the New Zealand article meets withthe consumers' approval New Zealandgrowers, protected by a high sea freightand a tariff, should have little fear ofCalifornian competition.
The statement has been made, accord-ing to the official survey, that lemonplantings, in New Zealand are sufficientto supply the whole of the Dominion'srequirements when the trees are all inbearing. The survey suggests, however,that, the consumer's viewpoint must alsobe considered, for present prices makelemons a luxury, and nobody is able tosay what would be the demand iflemons were at a price within reach ofall potential buyers. The annual pro-duction is 120,000 bushels, of whichonly 70,000 are known to have beenproperly cured and packed. Importsaverage 14,000 cases of fancy and extrafancy fruit. The conclusion is reachedthat in the larger groves costs of pro-duction in New Zealand compare 'fav-ourably with costs" in Australia and theUnited States. The cost of selling andretail distribution appears to be undulyhigh, but this, states the survey, is nodoubt in part due to the scatterednature of the population, as well as tothe systems of handling and distribu-tion.
Grapefruit and Oranges.New Zealand produces 23,000 bushels
of grapefruit, and the imports are alittle over 7000 bushels. A difficultywith New Zealand production is thelimited duration of the season, and asuggestion is made for gas storage ofthis fruit in order to maintain regularsupplies to meet a demand which"willgrow if it is constantly met.
No serious attempt has been made tocapture the local market for sweetoranges, and the survey admits thatthe general quality grown in New Zea-land is not equal to the best importedlines. "But our best types," it states,"if carefully processed and graded, areof sufficiently good quality to meet theapproval of customers at a reasonableprice. Present production is only 7000bushels, but is likely to increase annuallyas the Kerikeri plantations increase withage. Imports are about. 33QjP00 bushelsper annum. Consumption ia at presentonly one-third that of Australia, GreatBritain and the United States, but wouldincrease if prices were lower.
"To sura up," states Mr. Hamilton,"the position in respect of lemons andgrapefruit in New Zealand is fairlygound. », Ja. the caseofaweet oranges,ilie position W moretconjplex. but expan-sion,m tffe;'prbdu(rfibn}olf selected typesmay be justified in viiew of the presentworld' outfook.*;; .

MARKETING ACT.
EXTENSION PLANNED.
FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.
ORGANISATION OP GROWERS.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)CHRISTCHTJRCH, Friday.
Although the direct State control ofinternal marketing of fruit is notintended by the Government, thePrimary Products Marketing Act is tobe extended to bring fruit and vege-tables within its scope. It is thenintended to organise growers into groupscentring on committees, which mightultimately become marketing authori-ties, and the sale and distribution ofproduce will be directed by the Govern-ment. The organisation of growers, itis hoped, will be voluntary.
This information was given to-day bythe acting-Minister of Marketing, theHon. W, Lee Martin, in an interview. Asthe result of; the inquiry which wasconducted last year by the FruitMarketing Committee, and on therecommendations of that committee, theGovernment had decided to take stepsto reorganise the marketing of fruit andvegetables in the Dominion, said theMinister, and for this purpose theGovernment had approved of the draft-ing of the necessary alterations to thePrimary Products Marketing Act tobring horticultural commodities withinits scope.
"It is not intended, however, thatthe Government will assume control ofthe produce marketed," the Ministercontinued, "but rather will it direct thesale and distribution of the producethrough the various markets. Underthe amended legislation power will be
to delegate certain authority toappropriate organisations, should this beconsidered desirable.
"Before giving effect to any scheme ofreorganisation, whether local or Domi-nion-wide, it has been arranged thatsuch a scheme will be submitted to theCabinet for its approval. The work ofreorganisation has been placed in thehands of the director of internal market-ing, Mr. F. R. Picot, with instructionsthat any reorganisation should be madea* far as possible on a voluntary basisin the meantime.
"It may be said that all attempts atvoluntary organisation are bound tofail," Mr. Lee Martin said. "In the past,I admit, this has been the case, but withthe Government taking an interest init and using a guiding hand a lot ofuseful work can be done in this way.
"As a preliminary to the organisationof producers in the various fruitgrowingareas into marketing groups, it
_
wouldbe of considerable assistance if thegrowers organised themselves into pro-vincial or district committees. Thesewould serve as a mouthpiece for theindustry and also as a liaison betweenthe grown and the Department."
INSURANCE SCHEME.
HEALTH AND UNEMPLOYMENT
THE IDEAL DEMOCRACY.SYDNEY, July 9.
Twelvemonths ago the CommonwealthGovernment engaged Sir Walter Kin-near, Controller of Health,and PensionsInsurance for the British Government,and Mr. Godfrey H. Ince, Chief InsuranceOfficer, British Ministry of Labour, toprepare schemes of national insuranceagainst sickness, old-age, and unemploy-ment.
Australia now spends about £45,000,-000 (Australian) a year on benevolentsocial services, including £13,000,000 forold-age and invalid pensions. The oldrage pension is granted to women whenthey reach the age of 60 and to menwhen they reach 65. It is believed t-Wa lot of this money will be saved by theintroduction of contributory insuranceand that wage-earners -will be guaran-teed more liberal and regular benefits;Besides, there is a growing feeling inAustralia that the extension of charityis a poor way of building a democracyof self-dependent, self-respecting people;that the way of democracy is rather tocreate' the conditions under which thepeople may live without the merestsuggestion of humiliation or pauperism.
Mr. liice, the British' expert, presentedhis report last month. He proposes threedifferent schemes similar in their generalnature to the British—(l) Entirelyunder Commonwealth control; (2>State control with Federal subsidy; (3)part Commonwealth and part State con-trol. He seems to favour the first,because it will give uniformity of pre-miums and benefits. The Commonwealthscheme is estimated to cost £5,700,000,of which the Federal Government wouldpay £2,340,000. The balance would becontributed in equal shares by employersand employees.
The premiums to be paid by workerswould range from sevenpeUce a weekfor female workers between the ages of18 and 21, to ninepence per week formen. The benefits would range from 12/per week for women between 18 and 21,and 36/ a week for a man who has twochildren. The duration of the paymentswould extend to a maximum of 34 weekswithin a year. Several Labour bodiesurge that contributions should not bopaid by the workers. Others contendthat this would not be insurance butan extension of public charity.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM.
CLAIMS OF THE ORAKEI MAORIS.
(To the editor.)
Addressing themselves to this nowwell debated subject, several, of yourcorrespondents have decided, willy nilly,that the Orakei people must be dis-possessed of their homes. These homesthey are clinging to—and do not wantany substitute for same. The reasonsthey give must be respected—for thereis their marae—their ancestral homesites and tribal centre with all thosethings dear to • a Maori community.Those who conceive there "a beautifulpark" must realise also that there aresimilar such areas everywhere—but inpakelia residential occupation. Whypick on the Orakei site? Is it that theMaori may be unable to successfullyresist the effort—in his probable lackof financial resources to defend himselfagainst an intended legal wrong? Fromthe tone of several of your corre-spondents alas, it is the presence of aMaori community at Orakei, underany conditions whatever; that theyresent. They demand that in orderthat "a much desired amenity" beenjoyed by the greater number of Auck-land's citizens. There is nothing, how-ever, to indicate that Auckland's citizensdesire that. The recent disclosures ofthe Crown's action "in re Orakei" arenow only made widely known to thepublic. It shows also how the publicwere kept in ignorance of what had beendone—and what was the ultimate inten-tion—the dispossession of these people.To accomplish that end (and in thealleged "public interest") the citizensof Auckland have given the authoritiesno mandate—and certainly publicopinion now ventilated on this matterhas given a distinct disapproval of whatwas officially intended at Orakei. Onecorrespondent says it would be well"to put a match" to the whole Orakei-show.' j He is correct, as, also is anotherwriter who says "the present insanitaryjumble of huts" must be swept away.
■We must, however, calmly consider thefact that those conditions at Orakei aredue absolutely to the deliberate policyof those in authority, and over a periodof years bringing about the conditions
now complain of. For the OrakeiMaoris have been denied buildingpermits, installation of water andsanitary essentials, electric light andgas, etc., and many of "the desirableamenities." In view of that consistentofficial obstruction, these Maoris havebeen helpless to rescue themselves, fromthe plight we still find them in. Butgiven!the facilities to so do—the Orakeipeople will be the first to take advan-tage to improve their position—beindeed willing to "apply the match"and "sweep away" conditions officiallyimposed upon them. A creditablevillage and Maori community will takethe place of what is now indeed'"aneyesore" on Auckland's waterfront^—aneyesore officially created. Now, it isdefinitely a fact—and that as one ofthe conditions of the sales of otherparts ■■©£ Orakei—that these villagerswere promised the retention of theirresidential area. That is the crux ofthe Maori claim. The inquiry intothat (and other essential matters) wasnever completed—due again to theCrown's obstruction—and that forpurely technical reasons. Mr. Savagehas, however, definitely promisedthat all these things would be inquiredinto and these matters, probed into tothe uttermost, and that "full justiceshall be done to the Orakei Maoris." Healso promised that if he did not succeedin so doing, he "desired to give way(as also his colleagues) to better men."No doubt that inquiry will in everysense be a public inquiry and not amere conference of heads of Depart-ments (of which several have been, itis said, convened). The Orakei Maorisshould therefore have no misgiving* asto the result, provided that promise(publicly made to them) is kept in itsfullness. Now I ask your, hostile cor-respondents to also remember this. TheOrakei villgae site is all that remainsto these people of their larger tribalterritory—comprising the whole isthmusOf Tamaki and the further extendeddistricts. All that they now retain fortheir homes they should not be deprivedof. 1
GEO. GRAHAM.
One regards with concern the result of"Advance Auckland's" letter regarding"Maoris Should Go." If "A.A." ig notjoking he is a perfect snob and I wouldsuggest he reads and digests the creedof Women's Division. It would mel-low him a little. To my mind Orakeiwithout Maoris is unthinkable. Theplace was theirs long before the water-front road was made. They did notcrave the road nor the .publicity it hasgiven them. Did that fine gentlemanLord Bledisloe regard the Maoris any-where as something to get rid oft No,he was wise enough to value them intheir simple life and strongly advisedthem to depart from the modern waysthe pakeha was teaching them, to stickto their beliefs and simple living and toencourage among their children thebeautiful handcrafts so admired every-where. I would like to see Orakei madeinto a model pa. Nikau whares andmeeting houses with beautifully-thatched roofs and plaited ceilingß (onlythose who have seen and lived in themcan know their beauty) and beautifully-carved wooden entrances—picturesqueand an asset to any city. By all meansmake them sanitary and hygienic, butkeep the Maori in his own environmentsto encourage his arts and crafts. Onehates to think of Rotorua and Ngarua-wahia without Maoris, where they arecommercialised, unfortunately.

SUSTENANCE MEN.
Some stern remarks have been passedlately about the behaviour of those menwho, as exiles from the economic organi-sation of their society, are obliged tofall back on the State. I want to makea plea for fairness. I suggest that itis because people busy their minds witheffects instead of causes that we havecome to accept almost with equanimitysuch things as war, unemployment,lunacy, abortion and the like. And inthe recurring slumps our very philoso-phic politicians, who dedicate their livesto the Nation, turn tlieir mindi topublic works, relief measures and chari-table aids of all kinds. Tn view of thiscritics who would incite public-feelingagainst the moral wickedness of sus-tenance men, are obviously misdirected. Isuggest that the rod of. renroof shouldbe shaken in the faces of tho*e gentle-men who courted the votes of th<»Socialists, Communists, Douglas SocialCreditors. Progressives, etc.. at tlie lastelections, and who have deliberate vturned their backs on all of them. Isit surr>ri<=in«r tliat sustenance men drowntheir irritetion with a pint of ale? Icannot believe that men accept a pit-tance from the State any more ioyouslvthan they would accept a lingeringmalady, and I do hope that intolerancefor the uriemnloved will not arise, butinstead a healthy intolerance for poli-ticians wlio have eyes l»it s"° t>'i( earsbin; hear not.

HEALTHY LIVING.
Hospital accommodation in Aucklandis overtaxed—despite recent increase.Is evidence still needed of the inade-quacy of the orthodox approach to thedisease problem? Disease is not somemysterious entity that attacks healthypeople. It is the natural consequenceof failure to live healthily. Wrongmental or emotional states, wrongthoughts, beliefs, or ideas in the sub-conscious mind; a badly balanced diet,containing too large a proportion ofdcmineralised. devitalised, acid-produc-ing foodstuffs; ingestion of harmful sub-stances; and unhealthy habits—theseai;e the re«il causes of disease. It isUseless devising expedients for suppress-ing the symptoms of disease while thecauses that give rise to them areignored and allowed to continue—par-ticularly when many of those* expedi-ents are harmful and disease-producingin themselves. There is only one heal-ing power—Spirit, God. He is aroundand within every one of us. He worksthrough faith—the subconscious mind—-in obedience to the "law." Cosmicprinciple is involved. No degree ofhuman good intention can compensatefor deflection. Human intent is effec-tive only to the degree of spiritual cos-mid alignment. ' The Spirit of God isalways seeking to maintain us ih health;and will usually succeed if we, complywith the requirements thereof. Farther,if, through ignorance or neglect healthbe lost, that Spirit will restore us tohealth when we cease thinking anddoing the things that make people ill.Symptomatic treatment is sometimesrequired, but symptoms exhibit, often,a surprising tendency to disappear whenthe cause is removed. Any system ofprevention or treatment that leaves outof account the Spirit of the Creator, orthe Law through which that Spiritexpresses, is foredoomed to futility. Themedical system so fails. If orthodoxywould even try to understand it would-speedily discover that existing hospitalaccommodation is vastly in excess ofreal requirement; and could be pro-gressively and rapidly reduced. Thepublic health is closely concerned also,with right administration of money. Thephysical root of economic malfunction-ing is exploitation of the people's creditby a private monopoly. In this caselikewise no expedient, however ingeni-ous, can succeed while the causes, phy-sical or moral, are ignored and allowedto continue. lam wondering whensome of my colleagues will voice, inpublic, approval of Nature cure prin-ciples, whose truth and effectivenessso many of them are gradually beingforced to admit in private. Wake up,New. Zealand! There is no necessityfor poverty or disease!

TROLLEY BUS SERVICE.
It is indeed refreshing to note that thepublic is to have the opportunity ofusing the electric trolley bus. Whenthe new service is commenced, this im-proved form of traction will give a senseof comfort and security to both passen-gers and drivers pf the vehicles. Operat-ing as this type does with silence andperfect flexibility at all speeds, thevehicles will be a novel feature in Auck-land, which has hitherto run only busesof the internal combustion type. Apartfrom electricity, the only other kind ofmotive power inherently suitable forbus propulsion is steam. The electricand steam vehicles have much in com-mon from the point of view of roadperformance, and in the driving of themthey are very similar, as both eliminateclutch, gear shift and variable speeddevices—the necessary concomitant ofall internal combustion-engined vehicles—so that driving becomes simplicity it-self. This simple control is immediatelyreflected in the riding qualities, whichmakes for much smoother and quieterrunning, more rapid acceleration, withless wear and tear and lower mainten-ance costs. C. A. JONAS.
DOMESTIC HELP PROBLEM.
A great deal has been said about diffi-culty in obtaining domestic help. Well,why not consider the matter from adifferent angle. New Zealand is a newcountry. The servants they get at Homeare quite different from the lady-helpshere. Here the domestic helps to beobtained are generally the daughters of
people, and they hope to betreated with courtesy and consideration.Many are splendid housekeepers, honestand reliable. But when we hear theemployer loudly speaking of her as "MyMaid," or requesting her to wear a cap,while other indignities: are heaped onher, c&n one wonder at aversion to thejob T Instead of being treated as anequal, a little bit of the worst is keptfor her, and some half cold food handedout to her in the kitchen. If all are inthe kitchen well and good, but whyhumble this noble band of workers?They should be called lady assistants.Of course .ere are some women who arehuman, ,pn<> it is a great pleasure to
_-.ist them. , STELLA.
INTER-STATE.
COMMISSION REVIVED.
WIDE RANGE OF DUTIES.
MR. LYONS AS CHAIRMAN T
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
SYDNEY, July 10.A good deal of public interest has
been aroused here by the' announcementthat the Federal Government intends tosubmit to Parliament a bill establishingor recreating an inter-State Commission.Originally provision wae made in theconstitution for such a commission,which was first intended to exerciseimportant judicial and administrativefunctions, more especially in regard tothe supervision and regulation of inter-State commerce,, but, as the recentstruggle over marketing boards hasshown, the powers of «uch a commis-sion must be inadeqvfte, because itcould exercise no direct authority in theway of limiting inter- trade.
Moreover, on a question which wassubmitted to the High Court, it wasdecided that tlie Commission possessedno jtulicial powers whatever. Thus,though an Inter-State Commissionexisted for seven -years, from 1913 to1!)20, it was in reality an advisory bodyand nothing more, and though it pre-sented many reports on commercial andfiscal questions to the Government, itwas allowed to expire after the sevenyears for which it was appointed hadelapsed.
Wide Range of Duties.The object of reviving the Inter-
State Commission seems to demandsome explanation. The decision of thePrivy Council in the James case hasin advance deprived any such body ofany effective control that it mightpossibly exercise over inter-State trade.Apart from this it has already beenannounced that the proposed bill willnot attempt to confer any judicialpowers upon the coinmission. Appar-ently, however, it will carry out anumber of functions of considerablepublic importance. It will take the placeof the Commonwealth Grant Commis-sion, wh: eh investigates claims by theStates for financial assistance from theCommonwealth. Also. it will beempowered "to inquire into anyanomalies, preferences or discriminationsalleged to exist in relation to inter-Statecommerce, any alleged contravention ofthe provisions of the Constitut' "
relating to inter-State commerce, anymatters concerning the financial rela-tions between the Commonwealth andany State, and any other matter whichthe Governor-General refers to it."
It. is certainly a comprehensive list ofduties, but there is an even betterexcuse for this new departure. "TheGovernment," says a recent communica-tion from Canberra, "takes the view thatthe Commission will act as a stand-ing committee of inquiry, and will thusobviate the appointment of many costlycommissions."
Costly Commissions.This last is certainly a plausible rea-
son for the new • board, for since theLyons Government took office Royalcommissions and inquiries have cost thecountry at least £115,000. The WheatCommission alone cost £41,000, and theBanking Commission, which has justsubmitted' its report to the Government,cost £19,000.
While those sympathetically inclinedtoward the Government are contentwith this explanation, hostile criticsare not so easily satisfied. - Mr.Curtin, Leader of the Labour Opposition,regards it as amazing that the Govern-ment should have waited till the eve ofan election to carry out the promisethat it made in 1934, and he evidentlysuspects that there is something sinisterbehind the proposal. Other objectorshave been even more caustic in theircriticism. It is pointed out that thenew commission will be very well paid—the chairman receiving £2300 a yearand the other two members £2000 ayear each for the seven years of theirappointment. It has been hinted, evenby the "Sydney Morning Herald," thatif Mr. Lyons retires from politics ,atthe end of the year he might well beappointed as chairman, and in otherquarters it has been suggested that SirGeorge Pearce, the Minister for ExternalAffairs, may also find a place on thecommission. Of course, there may be nogood ground for. such conjectures, butthey carry sufficient weight to arousepublic curiosity and to indicate thatMr. Lyons and his colleagues may notfeel quite safe about the coming elec-tions.
PART WITH SHIP?
NOT WITH BATTLEAXE.ACHIEVED AMBITION.
'Tart with the Cap now? Look, youcouldn't do it jvith a battleaxe!"
Thus spoke 18-year-old Roy Walker,Australian steward of the small Britishbarquentine Cap Pilar to-day. Hejoined her in Sydney, thus realising hisone life ambition. Together with JackRiordan, aged 19, of Sans Souci, nowgalley boy of the Cap Pilar, he had oftenplanned such a trip. They had evenagreed to commandeer a vessel of theirown.
"But the boat was shifted the daybefore we' were ready," said Roy thismorning. "We wrote to every shippingcompany in Sydney for a job. I evenjoined the naval reserve. We bothknocked around a lot in sailing canoes.The most romantic thing we could thinkof was a berth in a tramp- steamer—andthen we got this chartfee. There hasbeen, and there will be, work enough andhardship before we get to England, butthe chance of sailing in one of the lastBritish square-riggers makes it worthwhile.
"How do I like it now? Well,honestly the first week was not toogood, but the next week was great. Iwouldn't leave her now for anything."And he whittled cheerfully as he sweptdown the companion steps with an out-size in brooms.

PAPAL INFALLIBILITY.
(By MAX WHATMAN.)Transcending in importUM eyenthe
famous Council of Trent, the Oecumenl-*d Council of the Vatican convoked byPope Pins DL was the largest conferenceof ita type in Church-, history. Theattendance was larger than at any of its18 predecessors. .The whole number ofprelates entitled to a seat waa 1037. Ofthese, 764 attended—49 Cardinals, 10Patriarchs, 4 Primates, 127 Archbishops,622 Bishops and 52 Abbota and Generalsof Monastic Orders. Distributed accord-ing to continent*, 541 of these belongedto Europe, 83 to Asia, 14 to Africa, 113to-America and 13 to Oceania.
The conference reached He height at Tthe fourth public session (July 18, 1870), 3When the Decree of Papal Infallibility zwas proclaimed. This was a binding {article of the Roman Catholic faith to (endure for all time to come. In this <
decree lies the whole importance of the (conference. All the rest dwindles into ]
insignificance, and could never have (
justified its convocation. (
The dogma subsequently promulgated <by the Pope is divided into four chapters, 1the subjects of which are: "Of the inati- 1tution of the Apostolic Primacy inBlessed Peter," "On the perpetuation of ithe Primacy of Peter in the Roman Pon- jtiffs," "On the force and character of 1the Primacy of the Roman Pontiff," ."Concerning the infallible teaching of !the Roman Pontiff." <

Stout possessed to the full those valu-able qualities of caution, far-eightednessand incorruptible honesty, usually asso- :dated with those northern folk. Heleft for New Zealand at the age of 18,landing in Duhedin in 1864.

The causes that were warmly sop-ported by Sir Robert Stout throughouthis lifetime were education and tem-Dcrance. His legislation included the1877 Land Act* :*!» 1878 Land Tax Act,and he also introduced Local Option Billsin 1876and 1893.

Bloodshed in Spain." will be a year next Tuesday sincerevolution flamed out in SpanishMorocco and plunged Spain into bittercivil war. . To-day the issue is stillundecided. Nobody knows what the warhas cost in men and property, and thefighting is of the grimmest. The_ restof Europe, or a good part of it atleast, has become embroiled in angry
i arguments on the question of interven-tion and the shipping of armaments andsupplies to the ports of ths tw*> Govern-ments. ~ Diplomatic crises have followedeach other with alarming frequency.War has seemed almost inevitable onmore than one occasion—and still thecauldron simmers.
To trace the immediate cause of theWar one must go back to early lastyear when a general election in Spainresulted in the overwhelming victory ofthe Coalition of the Left, which had aclear majority of 57 over the Right andCentre parties. President Zainora re-signed in April, and on May 10 DonManuel Azana was elected as his suc-cessor. Revolution followed in militarygarrisons throughout Spanish" Moroccoand spread rapidly throughout Spainwith serious fighting between Govern-ment and rebel troops.
The revolt was of an openly Mon-archist nature—a clash, between Com-munism and Fascism. The principal onthe rebel side is General FrancescoFranco, formerly Governor of the CanaryInlands, an office from which he wasdismissed by the Azana Government.At first the rebels met with frequentsuccesses, and as early as November lastGeneral Franco was claiming that hewould be in Madrid within a. week.Seven months have passed and Madridis Still unconquered. The city has beenbombed and bombarded, but it has no*fallen.' In other quarters the rebels haveachieved more success, but nobody canyet foretell the result of the fiercestcivil war in modern history.

French Explorer.. Driven by etorma far out from the
coast of Newfoundland, where the twoships of his expedition had been shelter-ing, Jacques Cartier, famous Frenchnavigator, discovered the moiith of theSt. Lawrence River on July 22, 1534.The expedition on which this discoverywas made cut short its stay on theAmerican coast, postponing the explora-tion of the St. Lawrence till the follow-ing year. In 1636 Cartier again set sailfrom France with three ships, reachingthe month of the St. Lawrence inAugust. He left his larger vessels andpushed off westwards up the great riverwith the small barque and two long-boats. The barque eventually grounded,but, carrying on in the boats, Cartierreached the site of the present city ofMontreal in October.
Cartier made two more expedition®,but the furthest point he reached to thewest was Cap Rouge, nine miles aboveQuebec. A soldier, the Seigneur deRoberval, had been chosen to lead anexpedition for the conquest of the richlamia believed to be in the interior.There was a misunderstanding, Cartier
I returning to Prance before de Robervalhad arrived in Canada. The result wasthat Cartier had to make yet anothervoyage ncross the Atlintic, his fourthand last, to bring home the soldierwhoseattempt to reach the interior had provedfutile. Cartier lived quietly at St. Malo,in France, until his death in 1657. Hisappetite for exploration was apparentlysatiated, for during the last 13 years ofhis life he appears to have done littleother than give technical advice onnautical mattSra and act as Portugueseinterpreter.

TRADES COUNCIL.Last week the Auckland affiliations
to the Federation of Labour met in theTrades Hall for the purpose of settingup a District Trades Council. Therewere 114 delegates present representing42 affiliations, comprising well over30,000 members. Mr. F. G. Young, ofthe Hotel and Restaurant Workers'Union, was elected president, Mr. W. J.Cuthbert (Waterside Workers' Union)vice-president, and Mr. H. Campbell(Painters' Union) secretary. An execu-tive of eight was elected, comprising:Messrs. A. Gale (A.S.R.S., Otahuhu),T, Anderson (Seamen's Union), J. G.Kennerley (Carpenters' Union), T. Stan-ley (General Labourers' Union), K.Simpson (Electrical Workers' Union), J.Basham (Waterside Workers' Union)and H, Muller (Drivers' Union). It wasdecided to apply for a charter to thenational executive and this will begranted in the near future. This willmake the fourth charter granted by theFederation of Labour. The first one wasgranted to the Greymouth district andthe others to Waihi and Wellington. Itis intended that where any district cansecure 1000 affiliated members a charterwill be granted for a district council.The indications are that in the northernindustrial district councils will be setup in Whangarei, Hamilton and Gis-borne. It is expected that not less than12 councils will be set up in each island.
"SLEEPING AT THE POST."The Right Hon. J. G. Ooates, in-
addressing the Junior National Leaguein Auckland, said some very interestingthings with which many Labour sup-porters could agree. For instance, hesaid that "the sentry who slept at hispost should be shot." We agree. Askedif he would act in the same way againin a time of depression he said: "No.Looking back in the light of experiencewe can see that some of the less popularmethods adopted could have beenavoided." So if the National Govern-ment had been wide awake the harshnessof the depression would have beensoftened. So apparently the sentryslept at his post, and the verdict of theelectors in November, 1935, was forpolitical extinction. Mr. Coates went ontb say that "in matters of finance thecountry no longer enjoyed the freedomii had in the past." If we substitute"banks" for "country" the limitation ofthe freedom spoken of can better beappreciated. Mr. Ooates also said thatit was not a State bank or Statei«tivity in general that had been re-sponsible century of progress inNew Zealand. We wonder what would$ave happened' to this country had theState not come to the rescue of theBank of New Zealand, when it ,w in.
difficulties. Surely that was a Stateactivity to be commended. The unionsof this country had a freedom thrustupon them in 1932 which they will neverforget, and every section of the tradeunion movement, from the deepeet-dyedCommunist to the pinkest of unionist,will endeavour to prevent it happeningagain.
YOUTH EMPLOYMENT.An intensive campaign is being started
by the Labour Department in an en-deavour to place in work youths wholost their chance during the years 1930-1936, and to that end a committee com-prising representatives of the Employers'Federation, manufacturers, Y.M.C-A..,Federation of Labour and the Govern-ment Placement Service has been set up.Instructions have been issued to thevarious organisations concerned to co-operate to the fullest extent to enableyouths from 18 to 25 years of age to beplaced in permanent employment. Dataconcerning all aspects of the positionwill be collected and tabulated, and thecentral committee will again meet inSeptember to consider all the informa-tion and the result of the effort up tothat date. There has also to be set upin the various centres a similar com-mittee comprising the Employers'Federation, Manufacturing Association,Y.M.C.A. and the district councils tothe Federation of Labour to deal withthe local position.
AN ORATOR'S PAY.Bonor Thompson, the Hyde Park
orator, tells the story of his adventuresas an "itinerate," open air, free lance,individual revolutionary who existed bytaking collections at the end of hisspeeches (states the "Newsletter"). Hesays:—"lt has been my experience, onmany an occasion to address a crowd ofabout 2000 people, •> well dressed andhappy looking, holding them enchantedand entranced, toss them from side toside emotionally and physically, setthem heaving with laughter and sad-'eyed with a pleasant sorry or pity, rousetheiir faculties of indignation at theworld's cruelty arid wrong, use, in fact,every weapon in the orator's sheath,lifting them up with a glorious perora-tion, descend amid a hurricane ofapplause, proceed to the gate—havinggiven the necessary hint about thelabourer being worthy of his hire, standoutside for a quarter of an hour waitingfor the reward and receiving—nothing.
Paid Holidays and Shorter Week.Holidays with pay are now an estab-
lished fact for all wage earners in 22countries (says Herbert Tracy in "Indus-trial News"). Last year alone generallegislation of this kind was passed byseven countries. In some countries thepaid holiday is the workers' consti-tutional right. Partial application hasbeen given to the principal classes ofworkers. In others the practice hasbeen adopted in voluntary trade unionagreements. In hk annual report tothe International Labour Conferencethis year, Mr. Harold Butler, directorof the International Labour Office, givesthe following list of countries in .whichpaid holidays have been established bylaw for all wage earners: Austria, Bel-
| gium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, Cuba,
Czechoslovakia, Finland, France, Italy,Latvia, Luxemburg, Mexico, Norway,Peru, Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Spain,Sweden, U.S.S.R., and Venezula. Theseven countries which legislated on paidholidays last year were Belgium, Bul-garia, France, Norway, and Venezula, theIrish Free State, and Iraq. In the last-named two countries paid holidays arethe statutory right of all industrialworkers. The 16 countries in which par-tial application has been given to theprinciple of paid holidays for particularclasses of workers are Denmark,Esthonia, Argentina, China, Colombia,Greece, Haiti, Iraq. Irish Free State,Lithuania, Panama, Salvador, Switzer-land, the Union of South Africa, Uru-guay, Yugoslavia. In Australia and NewZealand many of the decisions of theCourts of Arbitration contain provisionsfor paid holidays. As Mr. Butler re-marks, they are becoming a common fea-ture of collective agreements. In theUnited States, although paid holidaysare given widely to clerical workers,shop assistants and other non-manualworkers,; it has not yet become a customgeneralised either by law or collectiveagreements, but manual workers in anumber of industrial plants have beengiven the paid holiday.

Over the aide, too, hands were notidle with paint brushes and pote. Forthe Cap Pilar is being painted andcleaned up in preparation for the con-tinuation of her world cruise in severalweeks' time.

W. J. O'SHEA BRINGING TEAM.

The news that the Australian champion,Lawn Derby, is practically certain tocome to the Dominion for spring racingshould the new season with addi-tional interest, as there is no doubting theclass of the wnhoppled six-year-old. Hehas been constantly in the limelightduring the past season across the Tasmanand some of his performances on thesmaller tracks have been exceptionallygood. At present W. J. O'Shea, thetrainer of Lawn Derby, is undecided as towhether he will make Addington or Auck-land his headquarters and a lot willdepend on the classes on the programmesof the clubs in both places. Should therebe a race to suit Lawn Derby on theAuckland programme in October there Uevery possibility that O'Shea will makeEpsom his objective. Lawn Derby's bestwinning times in Aus-tralia are "2.47 for a mileand a quarter, 3.2 for amile and three furlongs,
0and 3.24 for a mile and ahalf. Should the Aus-tralian champion race atEp«om in October his _clash with local horses will attracta good deal of interest.

A FINE RECORD.F. G. HOLMES AS REINSMAN.
The South Island trainer-reinsman, F.G. Holmes, should enjoy a successful runnext season, as among the .many candi-dates he. .will have. for honours will beGraham ; Direct,. .Southern. Smile andBayard. The first-named; because o{ hisfine return to" his. best, form on. June 9,is already' one of- the favourites for theNew Zealand Trotting, Gup; ih November.The Rey de Oro gelding/however, is notlikely to be set specially for the race andthe forthcoming. New, .Zealand Metropoli-tan Trotting Club's meeting next monthwill give nim . another opportunity of,proving his worth." 'Holmes, one of thebest drivers in 'the Dominion, has yet tobe credited with handling a Cup winner,although he drove Sherwood whenherbeatReta Peter in 1921, but the verdict was'subsequently reversed owing to interfer-ence. Holmeshasa great record; how-ever, and Uut. woo. wne of the mostimportant races inJhf Dominion. includ-ing the Sapling Stakes with Kichore andSonoma Child, the Great Northern Trot-ting Derby with Lady Swithiitt andDaphne de Oro, .also- the- New ZealandDerby with the'latter and the Free-for-Allwith Native Chief. ' A win for Holmesin the Cup would prove a fitting rewardfor his splendid;-«bility.
While Graham Direct is the sheetanchor of the team the stable possesses/avery likely stake-earner :in .. SouthernSmile, owner by Mr*. G. Aitchesoti. TheSouthland-bred mare his'proved herselfan outstanding pacer on her day andlikely to hoM'^her: own with the bestclasses. She is molt solid and can runont a fast-run two ■ miles, and thisseason should find her being right 'is' theforefront of trotting. While these'twopacers can be relied upon to keep Holmesin the limelight he will have another verylikely sort in Bayard, a rising two-year-old, out of that fine performer, BonnyLogan. This youngster has yet to win arace, but according to reports from the'South is a. -very promising sort, aboutwhom a good future is predicted. Bayardis sure to improtfe is the result of. theexperience ha-has, had this season andshould develop into a good stake-esnier.Gaillard. another member of the stable,is standing up to his work in encouragingstyle and it is' to be hoped that he standsa really searching preparation. It is apity that this gelding is unsound as he isprobably one of . the most promisinghorses in the South Island, and he wouldhave little'' trouble in holding his ownagainst the better-class pacers: With sev-eral other young horses to engage hisattention Holmes has a very busy -seasonin front Of. him and it will be surprising,if this young trainer does not< occupy .aprominent place among the successfultrainers and drivers next seaaon.
STANLEY'S CHILD AS BROOD MAREThe recent fine form of the southern
pacer, Glenastle, has drawn attention tothe splendid success of Stanley's Child atthe stud. -The mare, which was bred byMr. J. Sutherland at Kurow, is the damof Waitaki? Girl (4.22), Kid Logan (2=B2-5), Stanley Bingen (3,22) and BingenChief 13.23 3-5), while''she also threwLogan Pet, whose, .mating with Guy Par-rish gave us Glenastle 1.

STAKES INCREASED.
THE SPRING MEETING.
ALTERATION TO PROGRAMME.
(Special to "Star.")
WANGANUI, Friday,The Wanganui Jockey Club is offering
£2490 in stake money at its spring meeting,to be held on Thursday and Saturday,September 9 and 11. This ia £270 morethan for the spring meeting of 1936. Therewill be eight races on the opening day andthe same number on the second day. Therehas been only seven races on the openingday for a number of years, the two-year-oldparade figuring on the programme. A
steeplechase for hunters will take the placeof the parade this year and the parade-willprobably be held on the Friday afternoon,the day before the'Debutante Stakes isrun. The Higgie Handicap, which hashitherto been run on thesecorid day of themeeting, will be included on the:first day sprogramme, the mile and a quarter eventbeing reserved fox* the second day.''' >It-Wiia understood that :Parakino was tobe takeh south after the meet-ing, but the Kiosk gelding was broughtback to Wanganui by H. W. Johnston.Parakino was to have been given a run inthe Novice Stakes at Trentham, but inview of the "exceptionally bad state of thegoing he did not start.
Master Norval may be gften a run inthe hurdle race at the Rangitikei HuntClub's meeting on Saturday of next week.In his schooling essays this-gelding hasshaped well.
,Airing is to be a starter at the Rangiti-kei Hunt Club's meeting. The Cockpit'gelding has been kept in steady work sincehis last outins and looks in great heart.Airing figures in the open six-furlong eventas well as the hack sprint race.
Mandamus is enjoying a rest from racingand is to undergo a "setting-up" prepara-tion at the hands of Mr. M. Grogan atthe Grange Stud, Westmere. This treat-ment, proved successful with Chief Ranger,The Bigot and The Buzzer, who, are still atWestmere.
P. Davis brought over the remainingmembers of bis team from Woodville a fewdays 'ago, including Francis Drake, Aiwai,Relative and a couple of two-year-olds.
The-officials of the Wanganui JockeyClub were surprised and disappointedwhenthey heard that their application for theKing'sBirthday holiday as one of the daysfor theirs winter meeting had not beengranted. It was fondly hoped" that thisholiday was practically assured for Wanga-nui, as, the club had raced on the holidayfor two years in succession. Apparentlytoo much wm taken for granted in thiscase, and the'risnlt is that the club willhave to hold its winter meeting in May, aswas formerly the case. Keen disappoint-ment is felt in racing circles over the mat-ter, as it means that once again the clubis' without a holiday date during theseason. ' £$8%

TE AROHA HORSES.KIMG MUSK RESUMES.
KING StEY AND IMPASTO,
Mr. C. G. Wybom has effected the pur-chase of ar. four-yearrold filly by Ruapapa—Ohinemuri for polo . purposes. At somelater datO'she may'be put into work inview offifecing. >,■.
Since undergoing the breaking-in processthe to King's Archer by Acrehas developed*materially. Of good racingtype and excellent conformation, he shouldbe a worthy addition to the juvenile con-tingent that will soon start work on thelocal tracks. • . .•
Mr. J. Whitten, recently acquiredthe rising two-year-old by Vaals—Billikins,has wintered the colt especially well, with,the result that he has developed splendidly,and will be ready to go into work at anearly date. ,
included in the horses taking part in.theHunt meet at Annandale last week wereD'Aitagnan, Routine Flush, Windsor Ladand Sandrift, ridden by her owner, Mtas,C. Oaddes. ,
The Spear Dance—Keep Watch fillyin A.E.Cox's stable is showing promise and islikely to make good on the turf. She isfast moulding into racing shape and is mov-ing along freely on the tracks.
King Musk has been recommissioned, butso. far only pace work has been allottedhim. His near hind leg is still swollenas the result of an injury by contact with.a wire' fence some weeks ago. He bearsa lusty .appearance, and, consequent uponhaving had a light racing season, should inthe next term be right at his best.
Queen Lu -is now- being schooled overhurdles, and in this department she isproving very-efficient, clearing the jumps ingood style.' 'She is well forward in 'condi-tion. and itfll be raced again before the;winter .is over. . -
: E. A. Koesing is educating a rising two-year-old by British King—Florent. Being avery, late foal, he will not be put intowork until ' later on, in order to allow him-mple time in which to develop.:^^& byThe sprinting work, in
which be is proving .very satisfactory. Thiscolt, whohas been in •work several months,is especially well dev.elpped and should beone of the best juveniles in work here.
Mr. R. B. Hines has put into active com-mission his rising two-year-olds Kingcraftand Miss Brierly. Having been well win-tered, they are in good trim. Kingcraftis by King Lu—Caviare (dam of RonaBay), and is a very fine type, built onlines of strength. He is a very easy-goingcustomer and gets through his work inquite an effortless manner. The filly, afull-sister to Miss Lu, shows plenty of.quality. In conformation and colour sheresembles her relative a good deal. Herowpier has had applications for leasing thisjuvenile, with right of purchase, but, beingthe only Lady Brierly filly he has, heprefers to keep her.
King Rey, Impasto and Seven Seaswere railed to the Bay of Plenty onFriday morning, and in the meantime willbe kept in light work at Te Puke by theirowner, Mr. N. Grafas. The trio werein very forward conditon when they left,having been in work throughout thewinter.
STABLE AND TRACK NOTES.
EXPECTED TO DO WELL.The southern two-year-old Son and Heir
has rejoined the active workers at Wood-ville. His only success was at the Waira-rapa meeting in March, though he hasbeen placed several times since. Son andHeir is expected to do well next season.
OUT OF COMMISSION.The Grasper has been a disappointment
since Mr. A. S. Elworthy purchased thegelding from Mr. G. D. Beatson, of Has-tings. He bled after working at Riccartonrecently, and as he has previously sufferedfrom that weakness his owner has decidedto put the gelding out of commission.
MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.A couple of rising two-year-olds reported
to be displaying promise at Te Rapa areCarolie, by Caledon from Lady Rawson,and a filly by Oration from a Gracefulmare. Carolie was purchased at the Syd-ney sales by the Auckland owner, Mr. N.Wade. Both these youngsters are attachedto A. C. Jones' stable.
IHURDLER'S RECORD.
John Charles was seven years old whenhe had his first race. He is now rising"ten, and his record to date shows 28 startsfor seven wins and a like number of plac-ings. He has won £1425, to which hisTrentham successes contributed £805. JohnCharles is a big raking gelding by Cynic, agood jumper and sire of jumpers, fromHeavenly Dream.
EARLY FORM WAS PROMISING.Although nothing in the way of fast work
has been required of Locknit, the blackgelding is doing everything asked of him ina satisfactory . manner. Since coming toEllerslie Locknit has not been over-raced,but his form last spring was promising, andif he'is capable vof reproducing it nextseason some more money should come hisWay.;
SHOULD PAY HIS WAY.The hurdler English Night is in workagain at Te Rapa «fter an enforced spell,due to injuring himself when he fell in theBrighton Hurdles At Ellerslie. He has comein looking all the better for his holiday,and his trainer, A. C. Jones, expects tohave the chestnut gelding ready to race atthe spring" meetings." • A good jumper,English Night shoiild pay his way in thenew season.
BACK FROM A SPELL.The Tea Tray—Tambourine gelding,
whovwas in work at Ellerslie earlier inthe' season, and has been turned out forsome months, has been taken up again.He is only being pottered about at pre-sent, but will soon rejoin the activeworkers. This gelding is bred the rightway for speed, as Tambourine is byLucullus from Tact, by Obligado fromTito, by Soult from Sappliira, by Leolinusfrom the imported mare Lyra.
GOOD-LOOKING YOUNGSTER.One of the best-looking two-year-olds
seen at Trentham last week was Settle-ment, a bay colt by Night Raid fromKeceipt, by Paper Aioney from Satisfac-tion. Starting from nearly the extremeoutside at the Darner, he got anything buta good passage, yet finished well. Settle-ment is trained by H. H. Lorrigan at'i'rentham and should be worth followingnext season.
A CONSISTENT PERFORMER.Grey Honour has been racing very con-
sistently tnis season, and prior to his tripto 1 lenthum lie liau won tmee times anilbeen second tlie ocner time in nis last tourstarts. On tne hist day ot tne Wellingtonmeeting lie just lailed to reacn a place, anexcellent ell ort uuuer tne Handicap ot hisposition at tlie barrier, but scoieu on tliehnai day. An entire iiorsu, tirey Honouris a four-year-old son of tlie Deroy winnerHonour (a son ot larnond), and his dam isthe Greyspear—tremulous mare Greylass.
WINTER CUP PROSPECT.Since he resumed racing in the autumn,
Pukeko has been consistency itseli, neverfar from the front even wnen unable tofinish in the money, and he is a distinctWinter Cup prospect. A six-year-old half-brother by Arausio to .Retract, he is aversatile horse, as he has won over sprintcourses and middle distances, but he is athis best at seven furlongs or a mile. Heraces in the colours of tne Opaki trainer,B. Burgess, who holds' him on lease fromMr. W. H. Hume, and his record to datecomprises 14 wins and 21 minor placings in62 starts for £2222 in stakes, of wnich£1420 has been earned this season.
; 1HAS BEEN UNLUCKY.
Chat, the three-year-old filly by Siegfriedfrom Taleteller, has been unlucky this sea-son, and is better than what her placedperformances would indicate (says asouthern writer). After taking her overearly in the autumn, L. T. Wilson, ofAwapuni, steadily built her up into racingcondition, and she made a forward showingat the last Egmont fixture. She had asecond placing at Woodville, and, afterbeink badly placed early appeared late onthe scene to finish third to Brazen Kingand Dictate in the Empire Handicap atWanganui. She ran well at the Manawatumeeting, and, taken to Wellington, she wasunlucky not to win on the second day,being beaten half a neck by Dutch Girlafter losing a lot of ground at the start'through being caught in the tapes.

ENGLAND'S ELEVEN.
COMMENT OH SELECTION.
SECOND TEST NEXT SATURDAY
LONDON, July 16.Commenting on England's choice of
players for the second Test against NewZealand at Manchester on July 24, 26 and27, critics state that the selectors havemade obvious attempts to strengthen theattack in dropping Voce, Gover andVerity and substituting Wellard, Smith,Goddard and Brown.
Wellard and Smith are both fine fast-medium bowlers. Neither is quite sospeedy as the Surrey express bowlerGover or Fames.
As neither Verity nor Langridge liasbeen chosen, England has no left-handBowler. Goddard's selection is a threat tothe tourists' batting success. Throughoutthe tour they have shown uncertaintybefore well-controlled off-spinners.
Brown's inclusion is a surprise. Heplayed against New Zealand in 1931 andtoured Australia and New Zealand withJardine's team. He has made a fewappearances this season and was very suc-cessful with leg breaks and googliesagainst. Yorkshire.
It is probable that Goddard and Brownwill both play if the forecast is forchangeable weather. If it is fine and thewicket hard, it is likely that Goddard willbe omitted.
The selectors show that they are satis-fied with the batting by retaining Hutton,Barnett, Hammond, Hardstaff, Paynter,Parks and Ames. They have strengthenedan already strong batting side hy includ-ing the successful hard hitters, Brown,Welland and Snyth.
The New Zealand team will not be.picked nntU the morning of the match..Tindill is visiting his wife's relatives inIreland and the hard-worked Come is onholiday in Scotland. Carson, who was 21years old to-day, is celebrating his birth-day by crossing the border from Englandto Scotland.
The players called up are:—R. W. V.Robins -(captain), F. R. Brown, W.. R.:
Hammond, C. J. Barnett, L. E. G;_ Ames,E. Paynter, J. Hardstaff, L. HuttoßvC. LJ. Smith, J. E. Parks, A. W. Wellardand T. W. Goddard.

20 THE AUCKLAND STAR. SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1937.
ARE GIRLS SUFFICIENTLYCLOTHED?
Modern ideas of dress are all rightwhen: the weather plays its part. Forinstance, on a recent bright and com-paratively warm day, a party of girls.went riding, the clipped 1- and groomedhorses and smart, riders .. presenting avery pretty picture. After some hours'riding there was a halt for, a rest anda. meal. -Two of the girls became quitechilled, and as the .temperature droppedin the.)ate afternoon, had quits a miser-able ride homewards. Fortunately bothgirls hurried straight home, got to bed,and took Baxter's Luiig Preserver, andso prevented any serious developments.
This instance shows the necessity ofall those engaged in outdoor > sports, onhiking trips, etc./ being adequately clador taking' extra; clothing With' them. Italso shows the wisdom of keeping "Bax-ter's" handy at home to prevent a seri-ous cold developing. This warming,soothing remedy, which is so pleasantto take, quickly .stops a cold, and willalso break up'-aii Established cold inrecord* time. -
The huge' dertiand for "Baxter's" atthe present time indicates the preva-lence of colds, and the recognised valueof "Baxter's," 1/6, 2/fl and 4/6, fromall and stores.—(Ad.)

VISIT OF LADIES' GOLF TEAM.THE TASMAN CUP.
HISTORY OF CONTEST.AUSTRALIAN VISITORS.
roriiTH MATCH NEXT OCTOBER.
The T;iem in Cup match between NewZt .< 1111 ci11 (I Australia is to be played inNew Zealand this year and will addinterest t»> the championship meeting atN.ipiei- early in October. This will beth« fourth contest and the second timeit h.'.s taken place in New Zealand. Aus-tnilin one up in the series, having wonthe cup twice. A win by the New Zea-land team this year would be vterysatisfactory and possibly not too much tohope for.
The first contest, played at Melbournein 193;?, resulted in New Zealand's onlywin. The team consisted of Mrs. J. C.'1 cm pier, who tvea then New Zealandchampion, Mi*. Dodgshun. Mrs. G. W.Hollis, then Mies Oliver K.ay, and Mrs!Fullerton-Smith, then. Miss Bessie Gais-ford. Mrs. Guy Williams accompaniedthe team as non-playing captain. Thefive members of the Australian team wereMiss Mona MacLeod, Mrs. Sloan Mor-peth, Miss Odette Lefevre, Mrs. Russelland Miss Joan Hood-Hammond. Thematch was marred by an unfortunateoccurrence when some members of theteam contracted influenza. After themorning round, when the singles wereplayed, three of the Australian side wereunable to continue, compelling one four-some to be defaulted. After the otherfoursome w*# played the teams stood allsquare and a count back over holes gave
New Zealand the decision, though not a'�ery meritorious one. It was. during this':visit that Miss Oliver Kayryfcfshe then'was, woii the Auatralian championship.
Australia's Decisive Win. :■»The following year at Titirangi Aus-
tralia won the cup in a most decisivemanner,./not losing one .match. Theletting player* were Mm. Clive Robin-iton, . Mia* Mona MacLeod, Mias JoanHood-Hammond, who had previouslyvisited the Dominion as a of anopera company and bad .been playing golffor only two or three years, Miss C.Lascelles and Miss Lealey Bailey'.' Mrs.G.W. Hollia, Mrs. Fullerton-Smith, Mrs.Dodgahun, Miss W. Barnes-Graham (nowMi\ W. Henley, residing in England)and Miss O. Stevens represented NewZealand. Although the Australians hadeverything their own war in the TaemanGup it was not so in the championship.In the face of their superiority oyer ourplayers in the cup matches it was only.to be expected that one of them wouldcarry off the championship. However,though two of them were semi-finalists,the final, was fought oat between the two'New Zealandera, Miss O. Kay audiMia«B. Gaisford, the latter winning an editingmatch after being 3 down at the end ofthe morning round.
The Australian team a Viait waa verymuch enjoyed here and the members ofthe team were very popular. No onewho met Mr*. Clive Robinson will forgether attractive and charming personality.She had played golf for a number ofyears, but had had only a season or twoof competitive play at that time. MissHoocNHammond, who possesses a glorioussinging voice, waa perhaps the most inter-esting to watch in play. She got downto her game with real keenness, playingeach shot with a purposeful intentnes#that waa refreshing to see. She is nowon a handicap of 2 and took part in theCoronation invitation meeting at Beacone-fiekl, in England, last May. It does notaeem likely that either of these player*will be member* of the forthcoming team,a« apparently Mia* Hood-Hammond is inEngland and Mrs. RobinaOnV name ha*not appealed among the fiwtflight inAustralia recently.
Ya«r'» Contast.Owing to the visit Of the British
women* team in 1935 there waa no con-teat held, but l<u»t year Mrs. Hollia, Mrs:Fuller ton-Smith, Mi** P. Helean, Mia*J'Horwell and MLm V. Fleming crossed theTasman and met an Australian team , atth<* Royal Adelaide Golf Club'a «ou«ie,Seatoiii, but were unable to Win backthe cup, though they were only beatenby one game. Mm.

Theoutstanding player appeared to be Miss" Be tts, of Nelson, who won all hermatches, defeated Miss Helean 2 and 1and Mrs. Cook (Castleclift) 3 and 1. Inthe toursomes she was partnered by MissJocelyn Hornabrook, of Masterton, andthey accounted for Miss Helean and MissJ. Duncan, 3 and 2. Miss P. Helean, now
? ®8' off scratch and, unfor-tunately, w a better medal round playerthan a match player, but all the samesne is sure of a place in the team. Anotheryoung player who will be worthy of con-sideration in the near future is MiesJosephine Duncan, of Wanganui, whowon the Rotorua tournament in con-vincing style la«t May. She took Mrs.Hollis to the nineteenth in a match atBelmont this season—and to use Mrs.Holli* own words, "She will be beatingme soon."

PLAY IN VICTORIA.A NEW CHAMPION.
MISS N. HUTTON WINS,
It is interesting to note that in theVictorian championship plaved last weektwo qualifying rounds were played and theheld tor the actual match play wasrestricted to eight. There were no sur-prises in the qualifying play and thescores were only moderate. Mrs. SloanMorpeth, the title-holder, and Miss NellHutton, the eventual winner, headed thequalifying play with aggregates of 161.
Notable absentees were Mrs. GatehouseapdMita' Mona McLeod.
The nearest thing to a "failure" wasthe missing out of Miss Joan Lewis, whofailed by eight strokes at 178. She hasnot yet developed consistency and withshut-face methods is liable to b e erratic.Two gallant efforts marked qualifyingday. Miss Shirley Tolhurst, who on herreturn from America was playing bril-liantly but has lately been uncertain evenof swinging a club, took 89 in the morn-ing, but by a great effort of concentrationdid a second round of 81. Mrs. C. L.Evans, the powerful and impressive Wood-lands player, seemed quite out of the pic-ture after an 88, but she did a 38 out and42 home in the afternoon to get in with acouple of strokes to spare.
The qualifying scores were:—Mrs. Mor-peth 81-80, Miss Button 80-81, MissCheney 81-82, Miss Kernot 82-84, MissPeter Lewis 82-85, Mrs. Evans 88-80, MissTolhurst 80-81 and Mrs. O. Coltman 85-85.
In the finat Miss Hutton beat Mrs.Evans, 1 ftp.

YACHTING.ADVENTUROUS TRIO.
ROXANE'S ROUGH PASSAGE.
TASMAN IN A 26-FOOTER.
(By SPEEDWELL.)Extended ocean cruises by Auckland
yachtsmen are getting commonplace, butthe recent experiences of Messrs. DickWellington, Keith Dawson and L. O'Brienin the 26ft auxiliary keel yacht Roxaneshow the Tasman in an angry mood andmakes one doubt tlie wisdom of crossing inthe middle of winter in so small a craft.That she was able to weather everythingthat came along in the form of heavy seasand a cyclonic frtorni speaks well for theseamanship of' Dick and his crew of two,and we all hope his luck will continue.The Koxauc is a keel cruiser, 26ft overall,built by Messrs. Tercel Bros, of Ponsonby,for Mr. Fisher, of Wliangarei. She waspurchased by Mr. Wellington and broughtto Auckland, where lie thoroughly over-hauled her standing and running gear, hertall Berinudan type of mast requiringespecial' care.
With two of his former crew, DickWellington, who crossed the Tasman In Mr.Fell's 36-footer Ariel last year, and hasmade two or three cruises with JohnnieWray in the Ngatakl, sailed from Aucklandon May 25 on a six months' cruise, duringwhich they proposed to include calls atNorfolk and Lord Howe Islands, Sydneyand the Barrier Beef, olf the Queenslandcoast, and from the following narrative,kindly sent to "Speedwell" by Mr. Welling-ton, it appears as if they will carry outtheir programme.
After leaving Auckland a call was madeat Whangarei to see some friends, and fromthere she made a good passage to NorfolkIsland. The weather was rough and stormvon the last two days, and when the islandwas reached it got worse. An attempt toanchor was made and Boxane held on totwo anchors for a time, but it got so badthat they had to be slipped and the yachtput to sea..
When the weather moderated a little theyacht was sailed dose in .under the lee ofthe island, and •; Dick Wellington wentashore jn their dinghy, & fl*t-bettomed puntabout Bft long. He got ashore safely, butthe eeas smashed the dinghy to matchwood,and he was forced to remain on the Islandfor four days, during which time it wasimpossible to launcli a whaleboat, of whichthere were several on the Island', manned byexperienced crews.
Left to their own devices with theirnavigation skipper ashore, Messrs Dawsonand O'Brien showed that they were goodyachtsmen and they kept the yacht goingunder easy sail, standing on and off shorefor four days. Several times the islandwas out of sight, but each time they fetchedback t© It, And On the fourth day the,weather Improved sufficiently to allow themto stand into Cascade Bay and anchor,when Dick rejoined, his ship.
Norfolk to Lord Howe Island.After a day ashore for the other two
and the purchase or fruit and other stores,the noxane #et out again on June 10 onher adventurous cruise, this time the ob-jective being Lord Howe Island, lying mid-way between Norrbik and the Australiancoast and almost directly in their courseto Sydney.
With a fair wind and moderate sea thelittle craft made good time, logging 180miles in the first 34 hours. On the secondand third day out the sea and wind de-creased until it was almost a calm, withline, sunny weather, clear, starlight nightsand the good ship Just "ghosting" along.On Sunday, June 13, the skipper workedout that Lord Howe Island would be insight by the next morning, and he turnedin quite conlldent that next nlglit wouldbe spent at the island. But this was notto he. Monday morning saw the wind andseas freshening at noon, with a hard nor'-west wind; 1 Ro'xane was doing six knotsand everyone Was cheerful. The twinpeaks or Lord Howe Island were envisagedin every passing cloud. The weather be-came worse, with inky black clouds, andthere Wis every appearance, with thebarometer as low as 29.12 (which wasafterwards conflrmed at. Lord HoweIsland as the lowest ever recorded),that a cyclonic storm was workingtowards them from the direction of Syd-ney. This was the gale that the Wanga-nella ran into when 80 miles east ofSydney, causing her to slow down Tor 48hours. A rush was made to get all sailoff; and for the next three days the goodship battled for her life against a cyclonicstorm, accompanied by severe electricaldischarges. This continued until Fridayafternoon, when momentary glimpses ofLord Howe were visible between thesqualls and storm clouds. As the windeased up, as If it were the centre or thestorm, sail was hastily made, and as itcontinued to be moderate all possible sailwas set, including the spinnaker, to enablethe Roxane to make the lagoon before thecyclone, but it was a close race.
At midnight on Friday, June 18, theyacht rounded Mount Gower, the southernextremity of the island. Dick Wellingtonknew where the opening in the reer was,as he had visited the island in the Ariel.It was moonlight, and the heavy breakersclearly defined the reef. The leading bea-cons for the passage were not visible, butKeth kept heaving the lead, the reer wassafely negotiated, and the yacht wasanchored for the night inside the outerreef. Next morning Mr. Kirby towed theyacht Into the inner lagoon and lent thema heavy chain mooring. The. gale stillraged out at sea, but the yacht lay snuglyat anchor under shelter of the island andthe reef, In smooth water.*
The crew's stay at Lord Howe Islandwas. made very pleasant by the hospitalityof the residents, while the scenery has acharacter all its own, and, as Dick puts it,he can well understand Compton Mac-kenzie; the noted traveller, when he saysthe Island -Is the most beautirul in theworld.
During their stay at the island all theyacht'* standing and running rigging, mast,stays, etc., were carerully overhauled inpreparation Tor the run to Sydney, whichit was proposed to start "ton Tuesday, July6.
ROXANE, the 26-foot Aucklandyacht which left OB May 25 forNorfolk and Lord Howe Islands,arrived at Sydney yesterday. Sheis owned by Mr. R. Wellington,who has two other Auckland
yachtsmen with him.

BRITISH BOXER.
DOYLE IN AMERICA.
WHY HE DID NOT MEETBAERLUND.
Jack Doyle, the English heavy-weight,left for America in the Normandie lastJune with a smile on his lips and a patchof adhesive tape across the knuckles ofhis right hand, says the "Daily Tele-graph."
He had just spent three-quarters of anhour
tbefore the British Board of Boxing
Control explaining why he had cancelled
his fight with Gunnar Baerlund, whichhad been arranged to take place at Earl'sCourt on June 28 in aid of hospitalcharities.
He showed them a doctor's certificatesaying that his hand would not be fit forsix or eight weeks.
Mr. P. J. Moss, chairman of the board,said later: "We had a look at Doyle'shand and we are quite satisfied that he isnot fit to train and box. It will be acouple of months at least before he isready. We are also satisfied that Doyledid his best to fulfil his contract.
"As to the action of Doyle and hismanager, Mr. Dan Sullivan, following hisinjury, the council will hold a furtherinquiry into the matter on Doyle's returnfrom America. Doyle's explanation isthat his hand 'went' on Saturday nightwhile punching the bag."
Doyle commented: "Sure, everything isfine and dandy. I'm going to we theBraddock-Louis fight on June 22. Then Iought to be ready for Baerlund. Will Ibe going to Hollywood? Well, now, Tcouldn't tell you. I'm going to have alook round New York first. I expect tobe back in a month."
Would Not Aeeept £1000.Len Harvey, who had offered to fight assubstitute for Jack Doyle against Baer-
lund, announced later that the fight wasoff.
"The promoters were paying Doyle£2000 and £250 training expenses," hasaid, "I was prepared to waive theexpenses and take £2000, but they offeredonly £1000. I am a busy man and that isnot enough."
The New Zealander Maurice Stricklandeventually took Doyle's place and heatBaerlund on a foul in the fifth round.

MAGAZINE SECTION.THE HUMBLE SCOW.
A VANISHING FLEET—THE TRADING SCOWS OF AUCKLANDNEW ZEALAND'S OWN.UGtLY DIJCKLIN G or SEA.
(By P.A.E.)Born of humble beginnings, to grow
thrive and blossom with the passage oftunc, craft of one kind or another withodd peculiarities and personalities alltheir own, have, since the days of theancient Phoenician, graced -the water-way, of every sea girt nation of theworld.
flunk of China and its turgid, teem-in- \angtso Kiang, and the fISV JunkI«prin*" to mind. Jas C hu.a has her junks and the AraiStheir dhows, so have the Japanese the?■ampans, the Mclanesians their lakatoisthe -\o\a Scotia men their bluenoseschuoncr* the Portuguese their caravelsmention but a few. Thereare still the cutters and ketches of thePacific Islands the kanakas' outriderranoes, tho Baltic Sea barques, and ahundred and one other vessels of a hundred and one types and descriptions.
. 'vha.fc °{ Zealand? What ofthe tiny island colony, the insular, insisr-nilicant red dots down under theSouthern Cross? Has New Zealandever produced a type of vessel all herown fhe answer is that New Zea-land has a vessel which is New ZeaW?through and through-the acol Tklowly, complacent, angular scow theobject often, of scorn, abuse and vilifica-tion by sailors who manned the deep-watermen of a day gone by; the boxlikecontraption which developed into a wellngrcd and seaworthy craft of no meanperformance in its later years; in brief IIT 3 ' and is ' inseparablylinked with the name of this countrv.Remarkable Sailing Qualities.
But that same self-effacing little ves-sel was built for a purpose. She wasgi\en her block-ended and shallow hullbecause she was required to accomplisha ea\y, thankless task no other vesselcould attempt. And the fact that shefulfilled that obligation truly and wellwithout complaint and without resent-ment, sometimes under the hand of adriving commander and an unapprecia-tive crew, only shows what a stout craftfine was.
The ugly duckling, the Cinderella ofthe mercantile marine, she performed anoble service for man and bore upagainst adversity like the patientdraught horse. What she lackedaesthetically she more than made up inutility. Beast of burden she may havebeen, compared with her queenly sistersof the deep, but she was not the slug-gard detractors chose to paint her andshe possessed sailing qualities remark-able for her design.
The very name "scow" conveys littleor nothing it owes its derivation tothe Dutch "schouw"—to many New Zea-landers, particularly inland or in thfesouthern portions 0f the' Dominion.Many of them have never heard it.Maybe that is their misfortune. It isprobable also that they never heardthe lilting swing of Frank Jessup'sstirring stanza:Squat and low in the sea she wallows.Booms a-swing to the «ea which follows;Sullen to answer her guiding handA timber scow out of Maorlland.
Possibly the poet has treated the scowa little unkindly. Possibly he couldhave been a trifle more sympathetic inthe choice of his words—but then, thescow does not want praise. If, in the,early years of settlement, the upper por-tions of the North Island had not beendensely draped in timber; if there hadbeen large, easily reached rivers tofloat the logs to the sea, there would, aslikely as not, have been no scows. Andso, the scow does not complain.
Beginning in Auckland.Auckland was like that. It nestled
on the side of a large landlocked andsheltered harbour and there was not thedraught for deep keel vessels to loadthe timber felled in the hinterland. ThusAuckland, although the idea first origi-nated in the great inland waterways ofCanada and the United States, was anideal birthplace- for the flat-bottomed,square-bilge scows.
In those days, 70 and 80 years ago,the kauri pine flourished on the shoresof the Hauraki Gulf and small bush saw-mills were established along the coast.It was at these mills that the first scowsloaded their freights, and with theirdecks piled high with massive logs weigh-ing singly up to as much as 10 tons,they soon became a familiar sightaround Auckland waters. They werepeculiar in that they carried the wholeof their earjro on deck.
The genuine log and timber scowsboasted no fine lines at all; square onthe bilge, square on" the bluff of thebows, square of stern, with squarechimes, their hulls were far from thingsof beauty, and yet, when one considersthe mission for which they were con-structed, it is realised that they couldnot have been greatly improved. Thecentre-board was an innovation of lateryears, and the earliest' scows werefitted with leeboards instead. Althoughthese are of proven worth on Thamesbarges their presence among New Zea-land's scows was of short duration.
This unwieldy appliance was soonsuperseded by centre-boards, which wereeasily worked and more suitable for thestretches of rough water in the. open,and they did not give the commanderthe same anxiety in a seaway. Astime went on the scows grew in size,and as many as three centre-boards werefitted to one vessel although the fore-most was small and labelled a "fin." iThe rudder, also, was the object offrequent criticism, gross and clumsy asit appeared, but it, too, was placed therefor utilitarian reasons.
The Vixen.The fleetest sailer among the earlier
scows was the little Vixen, a flat-bottomed craft with rounded bows andbilges. She was built in 1883 byCharles Bailey, one of the most capableand best known ship, yacht and boatbuilders ever in Auckland. In sizeshe could not be compared with bigsisters of later years, but her name willever be revered ag one of the fastest ofther class. Built to the order of Cap-tain James Biddick for the transporta-tion of cattle and sheep between theislands and ports of coastal Auckland,she made a name for herself Almost fromlicr launching.
In the annual regatta of 1884, whichwas held in a strong breeze from thewest'ard, the Vixen showed the wayhome in the scows' race, which was heldthat year for the first time over thesame course as the island schoonerslace. The course was around Tiri, out-side the Auckland harbour, and back offthe flagship at Auckland, a distance of50 miles. Even though fast schoonersalso competed, such as the Cygnet,Fanny Thornton and Louie, which wereregular traders to the South Sea Islandsfrom Auckland, the Vixen rolled homein effortless style. - The Pukapuka andthe Orakei came next as regards speed,both these being genuine square bilgescows.
In the early eijjhteen-nineties thetrading mows began to improve in buildand rig. The hulk, although still flat-babtomed, were given more sheer, andwith this greater lift in the bows anda cleaner entrance forward, theyresembled in appearance deep draughtvessels. The rig received its due atten-tion, and many compared very favour-ably aloft with the spic and span islandschooners. Their well scraped mastsand spars and carefully blackened downrigging with not a ropeyarn out of place,were a credit to them. These laterscows were lofty and carried a greatpress of sail and stood up to the weatherwell in a fresh breeze with gaff tops'ls,main topmast stays'ls and flying jibssets, while many schooners would bescudding along under lower canvas.
It Was a fascinating sight to watcha timber scow come iftto port and dis-charge her heavy burden of kauri logs.Up the harbour she would sweep, re-sembling from a distance a huge piled-upraft of logs urged along by the stretchof sail aloft. Then in would come hergaff tops'ls, down her three, andsometimes four, heads'ls, and with a roarher anchor would plunge to the bottomas she came shaking into the wind out-side the booms of one of the mills. Hertwo great fore and afters would subsidewith a threshing of canvas and a squealof blocks into subdued masses betweenthe crane lines which stretched spider-like from her boom topping lift.
Then agile figures would be seenclimbing over her deck load of logs cast-ing off parbuckling chains and cargoI fishings. Suddenly, with a mightysplash and roar, her first log would hitthe water, to be followed in rapid suc-cession by the remainder, the scow roll-ing like a beast in pain as each hurtledfrom the deck. Once in the water, thelogs were soon rafted together and pulledinto booms, where the mill hands tookcharge.
Well-known Scows.
Among the earlier scows, and some ofthe best known, two and three decadesago were the Shamrock and Excelsior,both, of 51 tons antl built in 1893; theIrene, built 1889; the Rover, 1893; theBee, 1891; the Rimu, 1895; the Bravo,1897; the Scout, 1892; the Pirate, 1895;the Whakapai, 1896; the Herald, 1898,and the Ngaru, 1898. The .Shamrock andthe Excelsior were keen competitoirs atthe annual regattas and both could showa good turn of speed. Of the abovethe Pirate was the largest and wasrigged as a three-masted tops'l schooner.She traded for a while on the NewZealand coast and later entered the inter-colonial running, carrying kauri acrossthe Tasman and returning with Aus-tralian hardwood. Eventually she waslost in tragic circumstances on PortlandIsland.
Gradually the older scows went outof commission, some being lost at sea,some broken up or converted into tow-ing barges, and others being buriedunder reclaimed mud flats or left rottingin some quiet backwater. Quite aninteresting account could be written ofthese timber droghers and their voyagesand ultimate endings, and in the con-tinuation of this series some of the morenotable of them, and the men under.wham, they sailed, will be discussed.
RAPIDLY VANISHING FROM THE WATERS OF THE WAITEMATA, these picturesque craft represent a type of vessel which is peculiar to New Zealand.

GAYER LONDON.
CORONATION REFLECTIONS.
A MORE COLOURFUL WORLD.
(By CYRANO.)One of the funniest pictorial satires
of English life is a French artist's ideaof Sunday in London. We see a longmelancholy street, with unbroken linesof houses, and one figure only—a large,bearded, overcoated policeman, yawn-ing. In that yawn is expressed theforeigner's boredom on a London Sun-day. There are probably manyforeigners who think of London as adull place any and every day—a cityof perpetual fog or at any rate leadenskies and no sun, inhabited by stolidfolk whose,amusements do not rise muchhigher than the beef and beer level.Sunday in London, it must be conceded,can be trying, but London through theweek is a much brighter city than itwas. Commenting the Coronationfestivities, the "Listener" cites a state-ment that during the past ten yearsLondon has become the gayest capitalin Europe—"The city where most, andmost varied, entertainment is to behad"—and it finds evidence for this in acomparison between the fare offered atthe three coronations of this century.
« Thirty-five Years.Even when full allowance is made for
the postponement of Edward Vll.'sCoronation to August, the entertain-ments staged 35 years ago were notimpressive as samples of what a greatnation could offer on a historic occa-sion. The "Listener" remarks that"anywhere but England" might havebeen taken as a motto of exhibitions atthat Coronation time. By 1911, whenGeorge V. was crowned, London hadbecome a much gayer place, the result,partly, of the short Edwardian era, inwhich there was a natural reaction fromthe austerity and seclusion of Victoria's<tourt. The Empire was in the ascen-dant. In art, music and drama therewas much more activity. The tentheatres open in 1902 had grown to 22,and the visitor, had a choice betweenTree in "Henry VIII.," Mrs. PatrickCampbell in a new piece by Besier(author of "The Barretts of WimpoleStreet"), Lillah McCarthy in "Fanny'sFirst Play," Oscar Asche in "Kismet,"George Alexander, Marie LewisWaller and Cyril Maude. To-day theatreshave increased to 33, a remarkable de-velopment in view of the competitionof the cinema, and London, of course, isonly part of England. In the pro-vinces the "repertory movement is flour-ishing as never before. The "Listener"remarks, however, that it is doubtful ifthe larger number of London theatres in
I 1937 show such a collection of goodplays and good acting as did those of1911. I have checked this by the ad-vertisements in "The Times," and thequality of • the plays shown inCoronation week doas not seem to beconsonant with the importance of thetime. On the other hand, there was p
fine season of international opera atCovent Garden, and the same kind ofentertainment at Sadler's Wells, whileif you liked you could go down to Sus-sex and enjoy Mozart operatic festi-val. Moreover, the ballet has becomeindependent of opera, and occupies itsown theatres. This year there wereseveral art exhibitions. Concerts werefewer than in 1911, "but, thanks tobroadcasting, a far richer and more ex-tensive musical fare has been madeavailable to the public. When we takeinto account the improved standards oftaste reached in decoration, the height-ened splendour lent to our public build-ings by flood-lighting, and the increasedmagnificence of our shops, we might feelinclined to say that merely to walk thestreets of London in 1937 is an enter-tainment in/itself."
Changes in Habits.Confined to London itself and to enter-
tainment, the comparison is interestingenough, but it has a wider application.There have been great changes in habitand taste in the last generation or two,and they are not confined to London.There was a time when facilities formeals away from home were of thesparsest, and no lady thought of eatingalone in s public place. The Lyons teashops were started to meet this need.To-day it is the commonest thing inEngland for people to eat in public. ThePuritan objection to public entertain-ments is still pretty potent, but it hasnothing like the force it had not so verymany years ago. The cinema hasaffected the commercial flesh and blooddrama in this part of the world, but, asthe above figures show, the legitimatestage still flourishes in Britain. Thecinema and the amateur dramaticsociety must have made a great differ-ence to life in small towns and villagesin England, as they have done out here.The younger generation can hardly con-ceive how barren of public entertain-ment life was apt to be in small placesbefore the moving picture was invented.When I hear superior people runningdown the cinema and popular taste inmoving pictures, I think of what certainsmall towns must have been like inthe old days. Take a port with a goodmany seamen at a loose . end. Whatwas there to do in the evening? Is itany wonder that men often drank morethan was good for them? Now thereis at least a cinema. When Victoriacelebrated her first jubilee there werecommunities in England more isolatedthan is the most remote township inNew Zealand to-day. Now such placesare linked with the whole world by thecinema and radio.
England and New Zealand.Then there is the increase in the
mobility of the English people, and themixing and sexes, which hasloosed much unnatural restraint. Thescenes in the London streets at night inCoronation Week shoul 1 be sufficient tomake the world question the conceptionof the English as a stolid, stiff and in-articulate people. It is rather we NewZealanders who lack self-expression. Didpeople dance in Queen Street or Cathe-dral Square on Coronation night? Avisitor to New Zealand remarked the
other day that we called England"Home," but we did not realise howmuch England had ehanjred—a commentthat should be considered in all itsimplications. Perhaps there are NewZealanders who are shocked by thegaiety of London, and murmur to them-selves that good old English virtues arebeing lost. Perhaps they are; on theother hand the value of joy in lifemay be in process of discovery. I believethat despite the burden and blot ofunemployment and poverty, despite thefear of war, this is a happier Londonand a happier England.
Colour in Life.The magnificence of the Coronation
pageantry has drawn fresh attention tothe part played by colour in brighteninglife. As they witnessed such displays,some Englishmen must have recalledChesterton's lines:
The very colours of her coatWere better than good news.
This generation, in Britain and over-seas, has rediscovered colour, and isbusy splashing it about—in its clothes,its gardens, its furniture and decorations,and even its buildings. The old feel-ing against colour as something frivol-ous and even immoral has been muchweakened. A red dress was once con- isidered to be almost a badge of sin,but now women wear red with enjoy-ment and impunity. In New Zealandwe are painting doors red and green,and colouring the whole face of privateand public buildings. The Coronation,with its superb display of colour inLondon, the bright ceremonial all overthe Commonwealth, and the unaffectedenthusiasm of the celebrating peoples,should give a real impetus to this move-ment. The value of State pageantryshould not be overlooked. It has beencontended by a distinguished Englishpublicist that cities should be laid outin such a way that the people couldenjoy such sights to the full. Theauthoritarian States realise this valuewell; is it beneath the dignity of demo-cracy to make use of love of colour andmovement, interest in history, and loveof country, by encouraging public cere-moniaj T
THE BLACK GIRL.
Shear off the burning tresses, scatter thebrooches.
With a brand of stare scald out the watch-ful eyes;
Now in my hands, passive beyondreproaches.
The breasts of darkness rise.I bury my face in these. The dark's a
womanAsking no questions. Silence strokes thebone . . .
Haply beyond her ebony gates is hiddenSome laughter of her own.Too wide your eyes, day, large your rosy
pearls.Too proud and mean the lovers at your
beck ;Give me the black girl, when I want
submission.Or a dagger at my neck.No maddening jingles, rhythms or disorders.No posturing for me here ; 'tis not her way.Only these mute tields, that will not
entreat me.Nor say ine nay.

THE SIMPLE LIFE.
DOES IT REALLY EXIST?HINTS FOR THE HARD-VP.
(By FRANK SARGESON.)A somewhat serious thing about
modern civilisation is that it tends tomake men unnatural by nature. Habitand custom have a lot to do with it, ofcourse; and Pascal was awake to thequestion when he remarked that thereis nothing natural that cannot be madeunnatural, nor anything unnatural thatcannot be made the reverse.
Take, for instance, modern industrialdevelopment. It tends to reduce indi-vidual tasks to an imbecile simplicitywhich has nothing at all to do with thegenuine simple life. Yet society as awhole becomes more complex and incom-prehensible every day. And people whowon't accept their environment as theyfind it are always protesting. The Whit-mans write their poetry about thesimple life, the Thoreaus'try to lire itall on their own. and the nudists takethe shortest cut they can think of backto nature. And near to hand I canthink of Miss Jane Mander's "AllenAdair," a New Zealand novel about thedifficulties in the way of simple livingat a time when conditions were sup-posed to be favourable.• Nowadays, of course, there is theTourist Department specially designed tohelp people. But the queer thing aboutthe simple life that has the imprimaturof the Tourist Department is that it isa somewhat costly and complicatedbusiness. The breezes round aboutMount Cook are hygienic it is true, andthey nicely streamline the hair, but abeauty parlour streamline is cheap bycomparison; and attractive though thepleasures of distant motor camps ma/appear to be, they are yours only . ifyou can endure the privileges involvedin owning a car. And even when you'vegone to all your trouble as likely isnot there'll be radio sets, or your neigh-bour's child will want to sit on yourmotor horn, or your daughter will plagueyou to run her into the nearest town tothe talkies. That word hygienic issignificant too. There was a time, oneimagines, when people lived the simplelife because it was the natural thing todo. But going native these days is asort of substitute for the medicinebottle, a substitute which unhappilydoesn't always act. A holiday bout ofsimple living can be more exhaustingthan the worries and troubles of earning
a living.The Real Thing.
This isn't to say, however, that thereal thing doesn't exist. You have onlyto trv farming, particularly on land wellaway from town. Or, if you'd rather nottry "you can read about the adventuresof Mrs. Scott's Barbara. But life thatis the antithesis of the simple lifenevertheless needs that life to live on.Hence you have mortgages, taxes andthe rest. And one mult is that the
simple life of even our smallest farmersis invaded by abstractions like DouglasCredit and the guaranteed price. Xorwill it be many years before there willbe a development similar to what hashappened in England. Finance andtrade make a living out of the simplelife, but sooner or later the simple lifereturns the compliment. Tramp throughcounties like Devon in the summer andyou find the farming people putting uphousefuls of Londoners, and make-shift-ing themselves as best they can. Andyou hear the Londoners grumbling aboutthe prices they have to pay. It is, ofcourse, only tit for tat. But it also isthe end of the simple life. And so it willbe in New Zealand if our email farmerscome to be regarded (as our Maori com-munity is to a large extent already re-garded) asa sort of annex to the TouristDepartment.
All the same it doesn't do to be toosure about the way things are going. IAnd in late veane, particularly insuburban districts, there is the curiouseffect the depression has had of turningpeople towards the country way of life.You see numbers of relief workers andsustenance people providing for them-selves by forgetting about their special-ised jobs and developing instead aCrusoe-like resourcefulness. These peoplehave learned to put up with inconveni-ent baches, to keep and milk cows, togrow their own vegetables. It has beena painful business no doubt, but it can'thave been without ite benefits. Xor. Iwouldadd. its comedies. A man who hadnever before in bis life prepared a mealfor himself told me how interested hehad been to discover that an onion isa succession of wrappings wrappingnothing.
Resourcefulness.But the point about this depression-
type of simple living is that in mastcases it has gone very much ajrainstthe grain. Yet you strike people whodeliberately choose to live that way; tolive as it were like the birds, simply
• on what they can pick up. IIt is in the new countries, moreover,that this sort of life can be lived tothe best advantage. W. H. Davies cer-
tainlv found it so in America and 1should sav that Francis Thompsonwould not "have suffered so much in a
Yew Zealand city a* he did in Tendon(Of court* he may not have been «s good |a poet, but that is by the way.l Andfor all its weak points from the politico-economic viewpoint there is certainlysomething to be said for the individualresourcefulness that it develops. Howmany New Zealanders. who are proud oftheir parents* and <rrandparents? associa-tion with the "early days." are willingto take the pottest of pot luck! Dothey know that sow thistle and kumaraleaves taste as good as cabbage andspinach? Or that some of the seaweedround our coasts is as good to eat asIrish dulse? Or that one reason forkeeping a cat is that it keeps your handswarm during the day and your feet at!night? And tan they say that theyknow what life is if they've never hadto decide whether to buy somethingthat will nourish hut not satisfy, orsomething that will satisfy but notnourish?
After all. what with w«rs and depres6ions, it's a« well to be prepared.
WAYS OF THE WILD.
THE ROCK BORERS.
UHE SHELLFISH OFCURIOUS HABITS.
(By A. W. B. I%\TELL.)Marine organisms hare developed
many and varied means of renderingthemselves inconspicuous and otherwiseprotecting themselves from the attacksof their enemies. Perhaps the most suc-cessful means so far employed is thatof the rock-boring shellfish. So securelysecluded are these strange creatures Ihattheir presence in a living state is notapparent, although we may be standingon a rock platform that actually housesbeneath its surface many thousands ofthese marine curiosities. In fact, tostudy the shellfish at all it is necessaryto break up the rock, when they will befound nestling in their neatly drilledburrows several inches beneath thesurface.
The rock borers are bivalves, belong-ing in a broad sense to the same groupas the cockles and mussels; the forma-tion of the shell, however, is very dif-ferent, but admirably suited to itsspecial purpose.
Rock borers are particularly abundantin the soft mud-stone or "papa*' rock ofthe Auckland Harbour, where they are adefinite factor in the gradual erosion ofthe foreshore.
The rock borer does not secure anynutriment by boring into the rock, itssole purpose being to provide for itselfa. permanent home safe from the hordesof enemies which normally harass themore conspicuous denizens of the sea.Having made such a permanent abode foritself, one may wonder how the rockborer manages to secure food for itself.This, however, is a -imple matter also,for the rock borer's diet is made up ofmicro-organisms that are always teem-ing in the sea and which are collectivelytermed plankton.- The plankton aresecured by means of siphon tubes whichthe shellfish extends to the ou'er surfaceof the rock, the food-laden sea waterbeing induced to circulate through thesiphons, the animal carefully sifting outthe food particles on the way.
The Boring Process.The local rock borers have thin white
shells ranging from two to five inchesin length, roughly cylindrical, with adiameter of from *in to a little over 1 in-One end of the shell, however, the broadend, is in the largest species cut away,exposing the powerful foot whichclings like a sucker to the rock and actsas a pivot, the shell being rocked froaiside to side while the sharp ridges onthe external surface of the shell performthe work of grinding away the rock. Aninteresting adaptation i« the provisionof a shield-shaped accessory plate whichcovers the flexible hinge which fastenstogether the two valves of the shell andthus prevents it from becoming wornaway.
Although the living species of ourrock borers succeed in boring only thesofter rocks, certain fossil kinds" wereable to attack much harder rock.Recently I discovered perfectly pre-served fossil membecs of a new speciesof rock-borer belonging to a genu*,Parapholas, which previously was con-sidered to be restricted to Californianwaters. The new species was foundin a fossil bed at Waiheke Island inbeds of Upper Oligoeene age. roughlyabout 30.000.000 years old. Stranjrelyenough, the borers were found in situnot In the soft Upper Oligoeenemud-stone, but in much harder <rrev-wacke rock, a product of the EarlierJurassic period. Another specimenwas found deeply embedded in the backof a very large fossil oyster.
"Date-shell" Chemistry.Some time ago I read a Press report
of damage that the concrete work inthe locks of the Panama Canal hadsuffered from a boring shellfish, but Ihave been unable to secure any furtherinformation regarding this matter.
There are many instances in Xatureof parallelism, two totally unrelatedorganisms appearing alike to all intentsand purposes, although they may be ofwidely different origin. With this factin mind we consider the so called "date-shell." Lithophaga, which is a rock-borer, but widely separated in classifi-cation from the true rock borers, beingactually very nearly allied to the com-mon mussels.
The method of boring also is different,although the result achieved is the same.
The "date-shell" is aptly named, for itresembles a date-stone in shape,although larger, up to two inches inlength, and it is appropriately dark-brown also.
The date shell is smooth externally,hence its boring activities are at firsthard to account for. The process ofboring in these shellfish in actual factis a chemical one. the animal exudin?acid which will dissolve limestone andallied calcareous rocks quite readily. Ihave seen an example of a jriant clamshell from Melanesia which had the backof the shell riddled with the holesformed by these borin;: shellfish. Inspite of its hardne«. the Hajn *hell was

"ORIENTAL" RELIGION.
PROOr OF UNIVERSALITY.
The following notes appeared in arecent, issue of the "Christian WorldPulpit." They are taken from anaddress on the charm of Christ, deliveredat the opening of the summer term ofLancashire Col lego by John Murphy,M.A., D.D., I).Lilt., tutor in the college,and, profesadr of comparative religion inAla richesl er l'ni\ crsit y.
"In thinking €if that land upon earthin which Icmis, as to His humanity, wasborn, it ir. interc.-ting to remember thatChristianity, which Itcgau with thatbirih, might lie called an "Oriental- 'religion. The gospel, the good newsabout (!od and man spoken by Christ,lias come fiom the Kast to Us in the"West. It. is, of course, the more wonder-ful proof of its universality, of its beingthe religion for all men, that thusoriginating iu n foreign country it hasbecome absolutely native to us; and the■wheel has come full circle, the enormousindebtedness is being paid, in that weof the West are missionaries and evan-gelists to tiic Kast, as well as to theNorth and the South. Yet the charm ofits strangeness, the scenes, the charac-ters, the colour and custom of Easternpeoples and Oriental lands, has been inthe voice and in the parables of our Lord.This has been good because of thebeauty it has given them; but alsobecause it corrects the pride we of theWestern races and of the white colourare apt to feel in our boasted civilisa-tion, reminding us that all that is bestin that civilisation is the creation of ourChristian faith, which arose like the.sunin the east; and it makes that idea ofthe inferiority of races of other landsand colour look verv foolish.
"Rut Jesus was a native of anothercountry; and He spoke its language, andwhat He said was always tinged withits accent. It was the country of thesoul. His Kingdom vAs the Kingdom ofHeaven. It may seem strange to speakof that as a foreign country; and in adeep sense it is our home. But think ofhow much of our time is spent in andour attention given to this earth-world,so that speech of God and of Heaven,and even of duty and ideals and the ser-vice of Christ, is apt to sound unusualin the midst of familiar scenes and com-mon life.
' Truly, a human being's life shouldbe different from that of a sheep or acabbage, as Dr. John Hutton saidon one occasion; and the life ofmany is not so very different. Henceit is one of the charms of the speech ofJesus that He brings the two worldstogether. He makes "the life of the body•nd the life of the soul interpenetrate,as they naturally should."
QUOTED THE BIBLE.THREE FAMOUS STATESMEN.
Mr. Arthur Porritt, formerly editorof the "Christian World," has anarticle in "The Bible in the World" onthe Bible in the Victorian Age that willbe of special interest to many of theolder people. Here is what he saysabout three of the more outstandingstatesmen of those days:—
The oratory of the period, even thepolitical oratory, was coloured by theBible. That silver-tongued tribune ofthe people, John Bright, spoke in thesimple Anjrlo-Saxon of the 1611 Bible.In his speeches Biblical allusions werefrequent and his audiences never failedto understand the Biblical referencesand recognise their appositeness. Oneof his most famous orations becameknown as his "Cave of Adullam" speech.Mr. Joseph Chamberlain knew his Bible—he had been a Sunday School teacherin his early manhood—and illuwnatedmany of his speeches by apt Scripturalallusions. A slash at those "who toilnot neither do they spin," served as aprelude to hw historic UnauthorisedRadical programme. Mr. W. E. Glad-stone's devotion to the Bible was uncon-cealed. On more than one occasion hedefended its authority with passionatevehemence against the assaults ofagnostic scientists.
"DIVINE INITIATIVE."As far back as 1921 the Student
Christian Movement Press published abook of little more than 100 pages bythe late Professor Hugh R. Macintoshtinder the title "The Divine Initiative."It contained the substance of some lec-tures he had given earlier in thein London at a Theological School formissionaries on furlough. The pub-lishers recently issued a second reprintof the book, which i» divided into fourchapters, in which Dr. Macintosh plottedout as if on a map, as he put it, theconspicuous features of the ChristianFaith, the most conspicuous of thembeing that in religion the initiative lies•with God. Every page reflects thefine spirituality, wide scholarship, depthand originality of thought and felicityof style that made Dr. Macintosh sopopular as a preacher, a lecturer ,find a■writer. Small and cheap though thebook is, it shows him at his beet.
STORIES WITH A MORAL.
John S. Hoyland has some amusing•tories in his latest book, "That Inferi-ority Feeling," all of them pointing amoral. Here is one in his chapter•bout making friends. Two old la<fieswere discussing their troubles (chieflyhusbands) and comparing them withthose of a mutual friend. "Why, shedoesn't even know that she's got a'usband," said one of theni about a thirdlady. "'E'g so kind to 'er that youwouldn't think 'e was 'er 'usband at all,but a friend." The book opens with astory, and it is one of his best. A vicarwas calling upon an old parishioner, andsaid to her, "I'm glad to sec, Mrs. Jones,that among all your troubles yourcheerfulness does not fail." "No, sir,"•lie replied, "my rheumatism is badindeed; but I thank 'eaven that I stillave a back to 'ave rheumatism in!"

"AS WE FORGIVE."
MORE CHARITY TO OTHERS
(By DR. DON D. TULLIS.)
Kvcry Sunday we pray, "Forgive uswe forgive others.'' The hum of a
million voices is heard in this universalprayer. It echoes through the raftersof chapels and cathedrals the worldover. We dare ask Heaven to overlookour transgressions only to the extentto which we overlook the transgressionsof others. A full answer to this prayerwould mean spiritual suicide for most of
Unless Heaven has more charity forlis iii our weaknesses than we have forothers, our destiny is dark indeed.
It is a strange paradox that, thehigher tlie individual's moral achieve-ments, tlie more difficult it seems forhim to forgive the immoralities ofothers. History verifies this thesis. Itis true from the Pharisees of Jesus'time to the Puritans of early America—from Old Testament Oliver Cromwellto New Testament Billy Sunday.It was true in the life of Queen Vic-
toria. Had it not been for her highmoral code, historians say the Crownwould likely have ended with her reign.They report that many who attendedher coronation believed it would be thelast. But her charity for those whobroke the moral law was as limited asher enthusiasm for the moral law in herown life was unlimited.
Victoria delighted to trace"her ances-try back to David of Judah, but shecould never forgive him for his rela-tions with the wife of Uriah the Hit-tite.
Geoffrey Dennis, in his excellentvolume, "Coronation Commentary,"says Victoria once declared she wouldicfuse to permit David to be presentedto her, even in heaven. Such lack ofcharity might prevent one's presence inParadise for such a presentation cere-mony.
It is possible that the old Psalm singerof the Judean hills has as yet made noformal request to Gabriel for presenta-tion to the kings and queens, the .dicta-tors and presidents of earth.
We do not suggest the discontinuanceof the use of the Lord's Prayer in pub-lic worship. That would be cowardly.We do suggest that it would be a markof high courage if those of us who prayit would make the practice, of charityto others the chief goal of our en-deavour.—N.A.NA.
NOTES IN PASSING.
A text: "Is it well with thee?" (2Kings, iv., 20).
One of the earliest cities ever builtwas Ur. It was older when Abrahamlived in it than London is to-day, and,as London was founded by the Romansabout 55 8.C., it is not far from 2000years old.
The Y.W.C.A. in England has refuseda legacy of £5000 because of the con-dition imposed that no dancing or cardplaying be permitted on Y.W.C.A.premises. It is the agreed policy of theassociation that every local centre shallhave complete freedom to carry on theirwork in the way they deem best.
The Church of Scotland Assembly hasagreed to leave the question of pacifismto the individual conscience. A High-land writer in the "Weekly Scotsman"says it has done well, as, to look forunanimity, is quite hopeless even in alesser body than the highest court ofthe national Church.

Quakers are amongthe strongest advocates of pacifism, andare noted for the combination ofmysticism and practical common sensethat characterises them.

There are some, says "Zealandia,"who, while extremely faithful to thepractice oi their religion, yet, in thefield of labour and industry, in the pro-fessions, trade and business, permit adeplorable cleavage in their conscienceand live a life too little in conformitywith the clear principles of justice andChristian charity. Such lives, it addsare a scandal to the weak, ajid, to themalicious, a pretext to discredit theChurch.

"WE OR THEY."
DEMOCRACIES WARNED.
AMERICAN LOOKS AT EUROPE
Several books, and some of them ex-cellent of their kind, have been publishedin recent years by Americans who havebeen over the Atlantic "looking atEurope.'' In particular, several foreigncorrespondents of responsible Americannewsjwpers have published surveys,vivid and readable, if sometimes .super-ficial. of European affairs. One of thelatest is Hamilton Fish Armstrong, theeditor of the quarterly review, "ForeignAffairs"; his book is entitled "We orThey: Two Worlds in Conflict" (Mac-millan).
Mr. Armstrong's purpose id to drawattention to tile width of the gulfseparating the dictatorship countriesfrom which are still democracies,and to urge the latter to beware. Hesees 110 remarkable differences betweendictatorships, whether Fascist, Nazi orCommunist. '"in each case alike anallegedly superior man. aided by whathe calls an intellectual elite, banishesor kills every independent dissidentand imposes his private will on themasses for their alleged benefit." Thegulf between these countries is so wideand deep that in his opinion it cannotbe bridged. Few people realise how wideit is. Mr. Armstrong, by quoting fromthe speeches of the dictator* and theirsatellites, makes a strong ease in sup-port of his contention that words whichmean one thing to us have by the designof the dictators come to mean somethingelse .in Europe. Thus "education" inGermany aims to produce "the politicalsoldier," and according to T>r. (ioebbels,"important is not who is right, but whowins." And in Italy: "For Fascismsuch things do not exist as . . . know-ledge which has 110 end but itself." InGermany, again, according to a Naziofficial, "the non-political, so-called neu-tral athlete is unthinkable." As for thenew conception of law, the author pointsout, inter alia, that the "model laws"acclaimed by some visitors to Russiawotdd He challenged by them as a returnto barbarism if they were proposed intheir own countries. Similar differencesin meaning have been brought about inthe case of "science." "religion." "cor-poration," "revolution" and "plebiscite."
" Hold Tight."The author goes on to recall the events
"which led to the revolutions ill Russia,Italy and Germany. "They bring thesobering realisation," he savs, "thatrevolutions are less often won by revolu-tionists than lost by their opponents.Strong in that knowledge, we must holdtight to legal prescriptions and'proce-dures, trust only to leaders committedbv instinct and belief to the' defence ofcivil liberties, and deal summarily withthose who band together to destroythem. We must . .
. encourage and pro-tect the rights of assembly «nd speechand the freedom of the Press, remem-bering -wchat a wise Chinese philosophersays, that 'While the Fascists regard thePress as a- nuisance and therefore sup-press it, the believers in democracy alsoregard the freedom of the Press as anuisance and thank God they have soglorious a nuisance.'-" Tile remainingdemocracies should learn that "at homeas well as abroad there is a front to bedefined and defended." 'It would bedisastrous to think that devotion toliberal standards requires us to remainon the defensive against those whofrankly announce that if once they canmanage to secure power they will killthe democratic syste,m of governmentthat jrave tlieni tlieir chance. Above all.never must we let them organise theirpower." ,
"TEN DAYS OFF."
ONE MAN'S HOLIDAY,
One would hardly expect that a manwould be aide to till a book of nearly:j(M) pages with an account of how hespoilt a brief holiday, still loss that howould I>e aide to niiik<; lii.s story sointeresting that his readers would cometo the end of it with genuine regret.Oeorge Dunn has succeeded in doingboth these things in "Ten Days Off"(Jonathan Cape). He tells us how.getting ten days' leave of absence froma military camp in the south of Eng-land. lie set out in the earlv hours of aSaturday morning by motor bicycle totravel over a wide area of the country-wide further south, how he travelledover it al<o on foot as the days passed,how, at the seaside, ho made use of amotor boat. and. later, availed himselfof an excursion with friends in an aero-plane. The odd acquaintances he calledon. the varieties of people he met. theadventures he had. and bis impressionsand cogitations—all are told with anengaging intimacy, a blend of fun andhumour, a vividness of description anda beauty of diction that make the booka delight to read. Tt would be excellentreading for a holiday or a long train'journey.

"Old Man Murray" (Angus and Robert-son), but we have, in addition, a storyof love and adventure, written with theskill and the enthusiasm characteristicof Mr. Lawson.

NEW WODEHOUSE STORIES.
NEWS FROM BLANDINGSCASTLE.

It has been said of Mr. P. G. Wode-house iii criticism that he seldom createsa new character nowadays; but is thisa defect, when hie readers want for everto go on hearing about the old oncsTHis admirers are perpetually fortunateiu that they know that their authorwill always give thein what they expectand what they want. His pen movesnow with a greater facility than it usedto; his characters step a little morebriskly upon the stage, and the averageof witticisms per page has risen slightly,but liis work is essentially the same asit has always been. In "Lord Emsworthand Others" (Herbert Jenkins), the firststory is 'The Crime Wave at BlandingsCastle." Here an elaborate setting isprepared, something similar to that of"A Damsel in Distress," but the reader,happily prepared to spend some time inthese surroundings, finds that the com-plicated situation is suddenly unravelledand that this is only a long "shortstory." In the familiar quarters of thebar at the "Anglers' Rest" the readernext listens to Mr. Mulliner's story ofhis nephew Brancepeth. Then theOldest Member contributes three golfstories, which are followed by anitem from the Drones Club, andthe volume concludes with threebrilliant episodes from the life ofthe indomitable TTkridge. Mr. Wode-house has sometin.es confessed that

CAPTAIN KIDD." MADAGABCAN ADVENTURE."
One of the most famous privateersand pirate* in English history is Cap-tain William Kidd. He was a Scotsmanby birth, and, for some yearn in thelatter part of the 17th century, did goodservice off the coasts of America andthe West Indies against pirates andagainst the French. He then decided tobecome an ordinary trader with a vesselof liis own, but was persuaded by theEnglish Governor, Lord Bellemont, totake charge of a privateer and clear theeastern seas of pirate*. He was, later,arrested and charged with piracy andmurder whilst engaged in operations offthe coast of Madagascar. Brought backto England, he was convicted at the OldBailey, London, and executed. Thestory of how he set out at Bellemont'srequest, of his Madagascan adventures,and of his arrest, trial and execution isnow told in novel form by Glyu Grif-fith and Jaines Ronca under the title"Madagascan Adventure'' (Robert Hale).The authors are wholeheartedly in sym-[>athy with him, and show him as a finesailor of the brave, honest, rollickingtype. It is an excellent, vivid romanceof the sea they give us, ending with animpressive account of his trial. If theirstory is true, if, in other words, papersexist in his favour that were not pro-duced at the Old Bailey, his trial andexecution were a travesty of justice.
ASTROLOGY.IOne of the oldest of beliefs is that
associated with what ia known asastrology—the belief that the fate andfuture of most, if not all of us, iswritten in the stars and planets. It hasbeen intermittently held by people hereand there from the earliest times. Inthe 10th and 17th centuries it had avery considerable vogue in England. Itthen fell into desuetude, but, of lateyears, has again come into vogue withquite a number of people at Home aswell as elsewhere. It is now the prac-tice in come radio stations to giveweekly broadcast talks on people's horo-scopes, i.e., predictions regarding them,based on observations of the heavenlylnxlies at the hour of their birth. Thereare newspapers, too, that calculateweekly the planetary outlook of theirreaders based oil the season of theirbirth, whilst books have appeared nowand then dealing with the science, assome call it. One of the most recentof these has been published by Messrs.Fowler, of London. It is entitled"Astrology's Place in the World ofScience," and is the work of Arnold W.Meyer. It is not a large book, alul isintended bv Mr. Meyer to bringastrology before the general public aswell as in the hope that it may stimu-late the interest of scientists in it.Attractively printed, and illustrated bya number of explanatory diagrams, it iswritten simply and persuasively, andis made as interesting as it is possibleto make such a»book.
BOOKS AND AUTHORS.
To Philip Guedalla it sometimes looksas though the greatest influence is exer-cised by bad books, as is shown by theeffect upon the modern world of "DasKapital" and "Mein Kampf,'' both ofwhich are "quite unreadable."
Harold J. Laski thinks a revival ofinterest in Anthony Trollope's politicalnovels would be worth while. One ofthem, "Phineas Redux," has, in hisopinion, the best murder trial in modernfiction. And there is "Ralph the Heir."
The Society of Civil Service Authors,formed in London a few months ago,already numbers as many as 70 mem-bers. The majority of them, it seems,write thrillers. Their president, BernardNewman, explains that most of themregard their writing as an escape fromroutine.
A reference book which is without arival in its field is "The South and EastAfrican Year Book and Guide," now inits 43rd issue. It is published for theUnion Castle Line by Sampson Low,Marston and Co., London, and runs to1125 pages, apart from an atlas of 04pages. The editor remarks: "JamesHowell, in the seventeenth century,compiled the first Guide Book in theEnglish language, lest his countrymen,ignorant of where to seek the note-worthy and beautiful, should, "likeJonah in the belly of the whale, travelfar and see little. The editors trustthat this, the earliest guide to Southand East Africa, will continue to savethe visitor to these shores from eucha disadvantage." No intending travellerwlfo looks at the publication will refrainfrom buying it.
QUEEN ANNE.
LAST OF THE STUARTS.I
A FRUITFUL REIGN.I
It hits by now become almost a com-monplace of British political history toobserve that the three women who havereigned over* Britain in their sole rightas Sovereign have had particularlyglorious reigns. The times of Eliza-beth have always been a favouritetheme, with writer* of fact and offiction alike, while those of Victoria arenear enough to us to leave their ownproi>er impression on generations stillliving. Anne is not so definite andvivid a figure in our history, and Mr.Neville Council's, new book, "Anne, theLost Stuart Monarch" (ThorntonButterworth) is an attempt to presenta human portrait of this Queen, "the lsu«tand perhaps tho greatest (as Mr. Cou-ncil thinks) of the Stuarts."•Anne, daughter of James 11. (then
Duke of York) and Anne Hyde, a com-moner, was byrn at St. James* Palacein 16U5, the year of the great plague,and was a younger sister of Mary 11.(wife of William III.) and a half-sisterof James, the Old Pretender. She wasbaptised into the English Church, ofwhich, throughout her life, she was afirm supporter. Twice she followedher father into exile, but from hisaccession lived in England, crossing over(as did Marlborough and his redoubtablewife) to the sup|>ort of William andMary in the revolution of 1088.
Mrs. Freeman and Mrs. Morley.Tier position during William's reign
was unhappy; she was the heir-appar-ent, yet received scant considerationfrom him. Succeeding to the throne shewas fur from happy personally in herreign. She was an Englishwoman of"quite ordinary intelligence." whosemain line of policy seems to have beento allow neither political party whollyto dominate her. The most intriguingpart of hcu life must always be thestory of her friendship with the indomi-table Sarah Jennings, Duchess of Marl-borough. The letters passing between"Mrs. Freeman" and "Mrs. Morley"make fascinating reading to the his-torian. Even "Mrs. Freeman" hadultimately to relinquish her domination,however, and in, the last years of herreign Anne had discarded the aid of herold friend, whose affection she thoughtnot worth the degree of submissiondemanded in exchange for it.
Mr. Connell gives a graphic accountof the life of his subject, and draws aclear portrait of the Queen. She hadmany children, but few were born alive,while only one lived beyond early child-hood. Her husband. Prince fleorge ofDenmark, was decent, affectionate anddull. Anne did not enjoy good health—besides a hereditary disease she sufferedmuch from gout. Her personal rela-tionships with her Ministers werespoiled by the bitterness of party war-fare, of which the literary legacies inthe works of Defoe, Swift. Steele andAddison are mementoes to-day. Anneherself, by selecting ministries composedof members of both camps, did not helpmatters. While political strife was theorder of the day within the realm, thegreat War of the Spanish Successionraged over Europe, and the very exis-tence of the kingdom was more thanonce threatened.
A Glorious Record.Yet in spite (or is it because of?)
these political alarms, her reign mustbe credited with a glorious record ofcultural achievements. In her reignAddison. Steele. Swift, Defoe, Gay andPope added new glories to Englishliterature; Newton openc<l doors leadingto new fields of mathematical thoughtand achievement: Handel composed: tlieItalian Opera achieved its first popu-larity in England; Christopher Wren.John Vanbrugh and Grinling Gibbonswere busy. The political achievementsof her reign are equally imposing. TheAct of Union with Scotland date* fromAnne's reign, while abroad there werethe famous victories of Marllwough.leading to the successful conclusion ofthe War of the Spanish Succession.Anne's personal tastes were of thesimplest, and the simplicity of licr lif<*is reflected in licr tomb, which i« coveredby a plain slab which bears only hername. She l»a* no monument ormemorial save in the remembrance ofthe generations who have pome afterher.
FAT BOY'S ADVENTURES.It is perhaps a mistake to say, as do
the publishers of Mr. Adrian Alington'snew novel. ""Moss is the Stuff (Chattoand Wiiulus). that it "is in the besttradition of Dickensian humour." Isthere such a thing as a Dickensiantradition? Dickens enthusiasts willprobably not agree that be founded a ;tradition at all. while others may be junnecessarily prejudiced against a book jwhich they might otherwise enjoy, jApart, however, from the facts that its .scene is laid in London and that one of,its characters is a fat boy, the novel jnow under consideration bears noresemblance to any of the works of iCharles Dickens. It concerns the jadventures of one. C.odolphin Cox. who jleft his native village wilder unhappily •ludicrous circumstances to seek hisfortune in London. There, with adignified and placid stupidity be movesthrough extreme poverty to the heights (of wealth and fame, and back to the Jequilibrium of a middle-class domesticexistence. The story is too artificialeven to be very amusing, although itlias entertaining incidents. Some ofthe passages concerning the Crumpfamily, however, make one suspect thatMr. Alington could, if he were sominded, write a good novel of the more
I serious type, about London lower middle-class life.

MAID IN MAYFAIRRoyal Craze for Puzzle Parties.
LADY ASTOR'S PLACE AT CORONATION.
(From Our London
W.-, 1 (I>i\m at Windsor do not worryI'iiiiccrs Elizabeth and PrincessM.ll j;ai ut. J hey are jigsaw puzzle
enthusiasts. If they are at Royal Lodgetu which tin' King and Queen intend to gofor ic.-t ful weekvends sometimes—TheirMajesties join the puzzle party in one ofthe comfortable sitting rooms, and some-thing really difficult in the way of ajig-saw is attempted, for the King findsthis simple form of recreation very rest-ful. He has indulged in it for manyyears, ever since, in fact, the late KingGeorge began to do the puzzles to whileaway the tedious hours ot convalescencelifter his long illness. He frequentlyasked the help of members of his familywhen a particularly tricky picture wasbeing put together, and the then Dukeand Duchess of York caught the craze,and have made jigsaw puzzles an indoorentertainment ever since.
Practising the Curtsy.Visitors to London attending balls and
private dances have been amused re-cently by the dainty curtsys girls havedropped to older women on being intro-duced. Some have remarked that theyounger generation seems to be reviv-ing the charming manners of grand-mothers' days and paying seniors therespect due to them. The girls them-selves are quite frank about it. Whilethey are ready to pay due respect, theysay, the real reason for the generousdistripution of curtsys is practice inreadiness for presentation at the re-maining Courts. They have, of course,received lessons, but they know that thecurtsy must be completely natural tobe graceful. Any risk of wobbling hasbeen ruled out by the "locked knee"position advocated by teachers, but thecorrect posture, and especially the risefrom it, needs continuous practice tomake it perfect. And the girls have hitupon the excellent plan of "making thedip," as they call it, in a ballroom,wearing dresses somewhat similar tothose they will wear at the Palace.
Lady Dunedin's Wit.I saw the other evening, at a social
gathering, Lady Dunedin, who israpidly developing a reputation as oneof the wittiest women after dinnerspeakers. What is so refreshing abouther humour is that it seems spontaneous.For example, she found herself obligedto respond to a toast at a Scots banquetrecently. One of the previous speakershad mentioned that he possessed somelanded interest in Scotland, and whenLady Dunedin rose to speak she fastenedon this fact and declared, amidst loudlaughter, that all she possessed in Scot-land was the right to be cremated inAberdeen, and that it was in her powerto extend this privilege also to a friend.No one enjoys Lady Dunedin's speechesmore than her husband, Viscount Dun-edin, whom one best remembers as adistinguished member of the House ofLords Appeal Tribunal.
Mrs. Anthony Eden Entertains.To Mrs. Anthony Eden, wife of theFoierfrn Secretary, has fallen a largemeasure of entertaining in connection
W| tli the presence of so many distin-guished foreign guests in London at thepresent time. This activity culminatedwith the dinner given by Mr. Eden andherself to Their Majesties the King andQueen at the Foreign Office. Mrs. Edenis not often in the news, but that isprobably because she prefers to help herbiilliant husband with his work in so faras that can come within her sphere. Mr.Anthony Eden's promotion to ForeignSecretary was sudden, and his subse-quent progress as a figure of world

importance was rapid. Not every womancould have adjusted her life so smoothlyto rapid changes of this description, butthose who know Mrs. Eden are not sur-prised that she rose so well to the occa-sion. Wuh all her unobtrusiveness shehas outstanding ability.
Lady Astor's Golf.With so many distinguished Americans
in town, Lady Astor is more thanordinarily busy renewing acquaintancewith her former compatriots. As aBritish M.P. for many years, it is diffi-cult to think of her as any but a true-born Briton, especially as she plays sogood a game of golf. I was at a famousgolf club near London the other day,when she had just finished a round, andit was refreshing to see how cool sheappeared as she came in to change. Shehad a business-like eye-shade on, andbeautifully tailored tweeds, and shelooked altogether a-s if she had just comeout to play instead of having a momentbefore finishing a gruelling eighteenholes against a particularly difficultopponent. It is characteristic of LadyAstor that she should have desired totake her place during the Coronationceremony with the other women mem-bers of Parliament. But the EarlMarshal had other views, and she tookher place among the Peeresses. Thereare few ladies of such distinction whoare, at the same time, so approachable.
Marie Tempest.Marie Tempest, who celebrated the
golden jubilee of her stage career lastyear, has made her debut on the screenin "Moonlight Sonata," appearing withPaderewski, the great pianist, who playsas himself in the film. Miss Tempestbegan work at the studios * during herjubilee year, and many of her friendswere a little surprised by her venture.She explained that she was anxious totry herself out as a screen star, and feltthat, even at her age—as she expressedit—and with her experience she mightlearn something of dramatic art asapplied to "pictures." In social circles,as well as in the stage and film worlds,the great actress, who received theD.B.E. Order in the Coronation HonoursList, has hundreds of good friends. Mostof those in London made up parties toattend the "Moonlight Sonata" pre-miere, which provided yet another bril-liant Coronation week spectacle offamous people and lovely clothes.
A Second Poker Face.Wimbledon lawn tennis enthusiastsmust be prepared for a change this year
in one of their favourite players,Senorita Lizana from Chile. The senoritais no longer the laughing little girl, whoexclaimed with deligjit or annoyance atthe fortunes of the game. She is now asserious-minded as any on the court, andshows signs of becoming a secondPoker-Face." The reason for thissudden change is that the senorita.thought that a lack of concentration waslosing her important matches which shemight have won; so throughout thewinter she has been practising the art ofconcentrating. The senorita has been inthis country for well over a yea-r now,and is returning home when the season®is over. Her form in the recent springtournament has brought her into worthyfavouritism for this year's champion-ship. Only those who saw her playagainst Miss Jacobs in the semi-finalslast year can realise how near she cameto carrying off the title. She is aworker, a great trier, and a thoroughlittle sportswoman and deserves totriumph on the centre court.
AND SO WE MEET AGAIN.Another Ship In Port.
(By JOCASTA.)"Have you been seasick ?" The ques-
tion floats across a watery expanse of20 yards, and is lost in a mass oftangled greetings. Such phrases as "Anice trip?" "Darling, how wonderful!"»nd "Can you come up?" fly backwardsbetween the ship and the wharf, in allprobability reaching the wrong destina-tion, but then who cares—p.ll greetings•re essentially the same.
'As the ship gets nearer and nearer,•hose on board lean further over the railin a desperate effort to greet theirfriends five minutes earlier than thescheduled time; while tliose waiting inthe cold morning air pass throughvarious different joyous attitudes, con-sisting of frantic hand flutterings andgeneral restless movements of the body.
"Oh, Daddy, Daddy," screams MissFive Year Old. "Look, Mummy, Daddy'sfatter!"
"Where, dear, where?" yells the franticwoman at the top of her voice. "Oh,there I see!"
"Doesn't Peter look well, Tommy?""It's been such a long time.""Oh. it's so cold, I can hardly wait.""Isn't it lovely."The same old phrases pass from lip to
lip until you can almost see their im-pression engraved on the wharf piles. Somuch for the people meeting the boat.In their common aim you can hardlydistinguish the anxious mother from theeaper girl friend, for in each discretionis thrown to the wind, and as a growingwave the crowd surges forward, anexclamation mark upon each face. Itmay be said that even the English droptheir natural reserve and join the massin an emotion display.
Sailing Away."All ashore that'* going ashore!" How
many times a week that .common cry isheard around the decks, and how manytimes a week another human tragedyis culminated in the fatal words. Witha last sigh of despair the faitlijess claspsthe faithful, and then, with a crookedsmile, goes below for the first night
aboard, the first night of his life-longdreams.
With the patience of sheep droversofficials persuade the crowd, singly or inpairs, towards the waiting gangway,where below riot reigns supreme.
A thousand different colouredstreamers stretch as a last farewellacross the widening space, shudder, snapand flutter as the feeble gesture of atired hand. And the ship is on her way.With one accord the crowd retrace theirsteps, and the cleaners get to work.To-morrow or the next day another shipwill come and go, and others say theself-same words, smile the self-sameway and throw more streamers to thesea.

LOVELY FABRICS AND GRACEFUL LINES
PARIS FASHION NOTES,The Influence of Hair Dressing.
| (By A PARIS EXPERT.)
THE way the hair "fits the skull," soto spe&fc, has a great deal to dowith tlie effect lent to a heavy or
a lighter figure. Furthermore, youdate yourself with the way 'youarrange loops of hair out over thetemples. This habit adds heaviness,dowdiness and an old-fashioned aspectto your general appearance.
Do you ever think of that head ofyours as having anything to do withthe size of your silhouette? Or theeffect of size given? It is of " this sortof thing I want to talk to you to-day,and I want to give you some grandhints from one who is considered, herein Paris, as a hair stylist of superlativeorder.
Now the back of the head. First, soI am told, letting the back hairs fallanyhow is simply ancient history in hairarrangement. Women study the backeffect of a hat. The back hair is in-finitely more important. You can haveyour curie at the back if you insist, butnot low on the neck this year, and nottoo many curls, for this ages and spoilsthe line at the back. Chic, youth andsmartness are reflected more in the backhair treatment than in the front.
Only a perfectly shaped head on along neck can take the straight-downcombing. Other heads must concede toa parting and a swirl to give line andcontour. A elancing parting is suggestedfor some women. For others a sideparting fr<?m crown, down back of theear, with a swirl over to the other side,said swirl ending in sculptured curls,attract. The true test of smart hair :sin this back parting of the head, i.e., toget a smart skull outline showing eitherin profile or full back view.
Millinery—lndividual Wear.A new line, adapted to individual
wearers, it the keynote of a number ofimportant spring millinery models.Sports hats of velours, summer felt orstraw feature the high crown, and areeither folded or draped individually. Acoachman's postillion shape, for instance,may be trimmed with a topical tricolouredging of grosgrin, or this shape maybe developed in a brilliant straw orvelour with a metal-studded stitchedbelt, as a tailored touch.
at the back of many hats, and especiallyis this the case where evening head-dresses are concerned, where a singlecurled ostrich feather is held in positionby a network of silk ribbons. Anotherdainty evening head-dress is creatcdfrom a couple of feathers, one coiled flatover the forehead, the second rising ina crest at the back.
Week-end Dress Tricks.Week-end dress tricks are a specialityof the Paris season. Two or three
"transformers" are given for one dress,so that a lone frock becomes three cos-tumes—one for sports wear, one for■a.fternoon, and one for evening. Thedress without any of these "overs"makes a fourth model to wear. Extratops are plentiful in day-time clothes.Gay coloured jackets, beaded and em-broidered jackets, by the battalion, arelined up to make the simple dress youwear all day into something glamorousfor the "after 5" engagement. Splashyprinted silk, pull-over blouses; bolerolength, are entrees that can be pulledon over your dress any time, and thatwill change it completely.
Much stress has been laid on hatscarried out in two colours, and even indifferent fabrics. A black grosgrincrown has straw sides which are drawnup in the line of the turban. One sideof this hat is seen in straw and theother in grosgrin. Many of the newmodels are favoured with ostrich fea-thers to trim the classical as well asthe extravagant shape. The manner ofusing feather trimmings in essentially"period." They stand straight upright
Long coats of organdie or lace to slipon over formal summer dresses may beworn at home or abroad. By the way, Imay tell you that black organdies arevying for honours on the spring andsummer fashion scene, with organdieribbons and bows making perkyentrances everywhere. Printed lacetunics come from many Paris houses toslip over evening gowns and make themless formal. All of these "trick" gar-ments have sleeves and rather highnecklines.
It's no use coveting the clothes ofyour best friends, and having themcopied, because the result would pro-bably be disastrous. The secret ofsmartness this season is the the resultof the careful study of all your best—and worst points. Having faced thetruth, however unpalatable, the wisewoman promptly goes into conferencewith her dressmaker, and havingaccepted expert advice, emerges trium-phant, the envy of all her best friendsand worst enemies.
There have.been terrible wailings fromthe unfortunate "stouts," poor things.And they certainly have every right toour sympathy, since they might as wellnot be on the earth, for all the attentionthey get nowadays. Another exampleof the survival of the fittest! But whatabout the woman who, having bantedlong and earnestly, now finds to herhorror, that she has no figure to speakof, or even the woman who never hadone. More objects of sympathy!
These unfortunates must be almost ascareful what they wear, but, after all,their life is easier, for where their over-plump sister must, at all costs, avoidmost of the new silhouettes, they inav,at any rate, indulge in those which makethem appear a little fatter than theyare.

The dress is fitted to the hipline and flareswith a slight tram An unusual note of contrast is struck by the. white yoke and shoulder trim of theIT' ~ ie: A chaT ™™g Sown of while and navy suede crepe.

SHADES OFWOMEN.
Three Queens Talk.
(By E. D. M. DOUST.)
VICTORIA sighed and carefully foldedthe pages of "The Heavenly Star.""It is a very terrible thing to me to
learn that quite young girls are paintingtheir faces nowadays. Things havecome to a pretty pass in the world whensuch actions are encouragedamongst theyoung ladies of the upper classes."
Queen Elizabeth smiled. "'Twas nouncommon sight in my day. Indeed, Ihad no fancy for pasty-faced wenchesabout my Court. 'Twould give one themegrims just to look at them."
Cleopatra ran a slim finger over herfull lower lip musingly. "Indeed, me-thinks if one has a pretty feature,'twere but a wise policy to accentuateit. Yet, to me it seems it might bean interesting point to note whetherthe additional use of cosmetics bywomen doth not coincide with war-making on the part of the men."
"During the Boer War it was hardlya fashion among ladies, although unfor-tunately not unknown to the few of poortaste," Victoria said atiffly. "DearAlbert always said . .
"Thinkest thou there is any connec-tion between war paint of warriors andcosmetics of women?" inquired Eliza-beth with interest.
"Why not? If Nature is so ill-willed asto bestow on an unfortunate creaturecolouring so insignificant she will alwayspass unnoticed, methinks'it might wellbe that lipstick and rouge are the flagsof courage flaunted in the face of adver-sity and despair."
"Well, I ween were my mirror toreflect but a sickly countenance, I wouldimmediately send for the leech eventhough previously aware of no discom-fort!" The Tudor Queen chuckled."Zounds, do we not all judge by appear-ances, unconsciously enow."
Queen Among Birds."One of the modern naturalists, I
•have heard it told, writes of war painte'en among the birds! The gfeat horn-bill of India carries its own paint andtreats its beak and feathers where theywill have most effect, although this warpaint is often dangerous to its wearer!"
"Aye, Cleo, and do not the savagesuse it.to frighten their enemiest Thenwhy not women, against their worstfoes ?"
"And what do you consider the worstfoe of women?" inquired Victoria.
"Lack of attractiveness, methinks,"Cleopatra murmured with a sly lookfrom beneath her long lashes."I should say unscrupulous males, and
I think the use of cosmetics would bebut an encouragement to them!"' Vic-toria said indignantly.
"This same scientist says that thispaint is not used as an attraction tothe opposite sex, but a« a threat to hisown!"
"I fail to see any analogy betweenthe brute creation and human souls!"replied Victoria sternly.
"Yet 'tis said that at least one birdsecretes its own powder and usee it toimprove the appearance of its plumage.Human beings and birds go red withanger, and 'tis well known such colouris a signal of danger!" Egypt's queensaid teaeingly.
"Methinks that the worst foes ofwomen are monotony and ill-health,"Elizabeth mused. "If then givingone's countenance the appearance ofvitality also reacts on the spirit, thenthe mind may so encourage anddeceive the body that the semblance ofhealth may in time oecome fact!"
"Mere theory! You did well to usethe word deceive, Elizabeth. The paint-ing of the face, although it does not
deceive anyone, yet savours of dis-honesty, and that is always inexcusable."
"I wonder!" the Greek murmured."Nature, you will note, usually dresses
the female of the species in modest andunassuming colours for her own protec-tion. It would be as well if the modernyoung woman were to learn a littlewisdom from this fact."
"Even if there is no analogy betweenthe brute creation and human souls!"Cleopatra murmured.
"Gramercy, sweet coz, the modernyoung woman of any generation willalways be in the fashion. If it is thefashion to copy the beasts of the field,zounds, they will do so. So far, it isfortunate for your peace of mind thatthe fashionhath not returned to woad!"
"That is not in the beet of taste,Elizabeth. Indeed, the bathing gar-ments—! Dear Albert always said—"
"Methinks the fashions of the presentday are fitting for the generation. Theirbathing suits are not so dissimilar tomine own costume." Cleopatra appearedslightly ruffled.
The Elizabethan Vogue."Amongst the frocks for evening there
are some that savour of my own greatcourt," Elizabeth said wistfully. "Ithink the taste of the present generationis excellent."
"Come now, sweet Vic, thou canst notdeny many also are not unlike those ofyour youth. Never have the designersof fashion decreed so wide a choice. Theyhave ransacked the ages, whose livingbeauty has been mirrored on the movingpicture screen, and taken the best ofeach. Gone, let us hope for ever, arethe abominations of the abnormal waist,the fettering of the nether limbs. Thereis both health and beauty awaiting forthe modern miss."
Victoria's lips tightened. "High heels,late hours, an excessive use of alcohol,painting the face—health and beauty!Hardly, dear Cleopatra."
"Every generation has its weaklings.Darwin gave to the world in your timethe theory of the survival of the fittest.Perhaps it is but the way of this genera-tion of weeding out the unfit. The wheelof fashion turns and the painted beau-ties of this period may be the laughingstock of their Nature-coloured andhealthy descendants of the next."
"As man finds out new ways ofdestruction, so does science discover anti-dotes to his imbecilities and learned pro-fessors no longer think it beneath theirdignity to aid women in their lifelongsearch for beauty," Elizabeth mused."Man has not yet risen above the in-sanity of war. why should woman giveup the use of her war paint, as Cleocalls it? It is her armour against anunkind world, her defiance against thelimitations that Nature has inflicted onher, her banner of courage! May shecarry it high!"
"We do not approve," said Victoriaprimly.
THE CULT OF BEAUTY
FOUR "DON'TS" TO PREVENT FATIGUE.
(By A SPECIALIST.)
PUIT should form an indispensablepart of every diet. Unfortunatelyits value as an eliminative and
cleansing food is so little understoodthat considerable doubt exists regardingits usefulness in the diet. Fruit is agreat solvent of toxic or poisonousmatter in the blood, which, as it per-colates into the remotest tissues, carrieswith it the cleansing element obtainedfrom fruit. Latent poisonous matter injoints and muscles is stirred up bychemical action ami driven into the mainblood stream, whlre it is carried on tobe further purified. In this way thewhole system receives a thoroughcleansing.
Frequently pain, due to the stirringup of inactive toxins, is felt in the jointsand muscles, and discomfort may beexperienced in the digestive tract. Thepain and discomfort vary in intensityaccording to tie deep-seatedness of thetoxic matter in the system, and must beregarded as healthy symptoms.
Unfortunately, many people who havea.partial fruit diet have regarded thesesymptoms as a disease induced by eat-ing fruit.
Acute Condition._
In getting rid of many chronic condi-tions an acute condition often has tobe brought about to eliminate the causeof the disease. Thus, a person sufferingfrom chronic rheumatism may experi-ence an acute rheumatic pain whileremoving chronic condition. In thesame way an attack of acute nasalcatarrh may be experienced when get-ting rid of chronic indigestion.
The acute condition is Nature's wayof ridding the body of toxic matter thathas to be eliminated. The effect of fruiton a person, therefore, will vary accord-ing to the amount of toxic matter thathas to be eliminated. Actually, fruitagrees with everyone. When it'appearsto disagree it is due to the chronic poi-son within the system not agreeing withthe cleansing and eliminating action ofthe fruit.
Are Yon Perpetually Tired?Fatigue should be avoided as sedu-
ously as the plague. Getting healthilytired is another matter. We all knowthe rather pleasant "dog-tired"' fatigueof hard work. It is usually repaired bya good night's rest, leaving one feelingas fit as a daisy with the arrival ofanother day. But. being continuallytired from over-strain is fatal to healthand beauty.
How often we are the prey of ouremotions! perfect control preventsthose ugly ravishes of temper and a baddisposition so obstructive to a lovelycomplexion.
A beautifully poised woman who isfrequently takei> for her youngdaughter's big sister, once shared hersecret with me. Here it is. Merelv afew fundamental don'ts.
(1) Don't attempt frantically toaccomplish in one hour the work of two.
(2) Don't do two things at the sametime.
(3) Don't allow any sort of excessthat leads to a. general constitutionaldrain on the health.
(1) Don't make petty engagementswhich interfere with sleep.

stops up the pores and thus - clogsXature'c process of elimination, causingpimples, blackheads and a muddy com-plexion. Quite the reverse seems to b®the truth. The right kind of powder,rightly used, is not only harmless, butit is beneficial. It acts something likea veil. It protects the skin if one is atall exposed to the elements, and particu-larly to the dust, smoke, dirt and germsthat all air is permeated with; powder isalmost a necessity if one wishes topreserve a smooth, soft skin.
This is true even in the country,because there we often find bare fieldsof dirt and dusty roads and usuallyplenty of breeze to carry myriads oftiny particles scurrying through the air.If one's face is at all moist, even if notoily or greasy, as it is likely to be ifpowder is not used, these tiny particlesof dirt soon settle on the face andremain there, whereas if the face ispowdered it serves as a thin protectivecovering to which dirt is not likely toadhere. It seems to be a question,then, whether a woman should powderher face herself with a fine, pure facepowder or whether she should letNature powder it with dust and dirt.
Powdering in Pnblic.While every man knows that most
women use paint and powder, it is agrave question if this knowledge is notfatal to his respect for the fair sex.No man admires an artificial woman.What he does not know does not hurthim. He may suspect that she usesmany artifices and devices to enhanceher beauty, but when a woman confirmsthose suspicions she k lowering herselfin his estimation. It is quite possiblethat a man can love a woman withfalse teeth, false hair, a cork leg, afrlass eye, false eyelashes, a fake bustand a "false face," but it k quitecertain that the more real and naturalshe is the easier will come his admira-tion. This does not mean that a womanshall not have false teeth if she needsthem, not that she cannot touch up herhair, nor add colour to her lips andolieeks, and so on—but why publish it?Therefore it seems wise and discreetfor every woman to make her toilet inprivate and keep her boudoir secrets
| secret. Hence, if she must powder ini public let her do so when the public isj not looking.Does Cold Ctoam Make w»ir Grow ?
This is an ancient theory, but prob-ably a false one. Our grandmothers usedto say that the continued use of anykind of cream or oil or grease on theface had a tendency to encourage thegrowth of hair, but "the latest and bestauthorities seem to hold that it doesno such thing. If cold cream does makehair grow the woman wouldn't be ableto get any—the men would take it all,using it on their bald pates! If hairis going to grow on the face it isgoing to grow and nothing can stop itor help it. Hair will not grow on apiece of marble, neither will it grow onthe hard, polished surface of a man'sbald skull. If hair grows on a woma7i"supper lip it is because there are hairroots there beneath the surface of theskin, and no cold cream wjH encourajreor discourage those roots and probabTvnothing else wilL

it'T'H K body buried in GreenmountI w-fi-i not that of Booth," declared
I'.asil Moxley, a pall-beajrer at thealleged funeral of Lincoln's assassin inj!,t 1; iiii'M e.
"1 do not believe that Booth was everkilled in that barn," added Moxley, whofor nearly a half century had been door-keeper in Baltimore at the HollidayStreet Theatre and at Ford's OperaHouse. Re was a trusted friend of theBootli family and an encyclopedia ofinformation concerning the stage folk ofhis time.
Many men have shared Moxley'sdoubt as to the most commonly acceptedversion of the capture, shooting andburial of Lincoln's assassin. Accordingto that version, the demented actor,afterehooting the President, and after break-ing his. leg while making his escape, tookrefuse in Garrett's tobacco barn, nearBowling Green, Va. The barn was sur-rounded by 28 veterans of the 10th NewYork Cavalry, who, fearing to go in andcapture one defiant man, set the buildingon fire and then shot Booth as heappeared to take aim at his pursuers.
Commonly Accepted Story.The commonly accepted story of what
next happened relates that Booth's body■was sewed up in a saddle blanket andcarried aboard the monitor Montauk,where it was laid in tlie carpenter's bunkof the turret. After an autopsy inWashington it was placed in a pine gunbox and secretly buried beneath the floorof a cell in tiic old Washington Peniten-tiary. After nearly four years hadelapsed the great actor, Edwin Booth,persuaded President Andrew Johnsonto allow the pine box to be removed toBaltimore for secret burial in Green-mount cemetery.
Since the black tragedy of 'Go therehave been advanced more than 50theories to tlie effect that Wilkes Boothescaped to enjoy or, at least, experiencelife for a considerable time after hiscorpse was believed to have moulded inthe grave.
General Eckert, who was Assistant-Secretary of War when Lincoln wasassassinated, and who later becamepresident of the Western Union Tele-graph Company, was once quoted ashaving confessed to his nurse, on hisdeathbed, that with three other men hehad taken the body of Booth out onDelaware Bay and thrown it into thewater.
A secret service map assigned to theassassination was quoted as stating thatthe identification of the, corpse- supposedto have been Booth's was never satis-factorily. made. Such doubts and con-tradictions reiterated by men closelyconcerned in the searcli for the assassinled to the suspicion that greed for the75,000 dollars reward offered for -Boothby the Government resulted in theehooting of another man.
Daughter's Claim.Some years ago Laura Ida Booth (Mrs.
L. A. Howard), an actress who claimedto be the daughter of Wilkes Booth,announced that her father lived until1903, when his long-troubled conscienceled him to commit suicide at Enid, Okla.
A Memphis attorney, Finis L. Bates,who knew the Enid suicide and whobelieved him to have been Lincoln'sassassin, published a book in support ofthe theory. Mr. Bates also appealed tothe National House of Representativesto definitely determine the identity ofthe embalmed corpse of the suicide,which, for four years, had been kept byan Enid undertaker. In his communica-tion to Congress, Mr. Bates stated:
"I knew Booth as John D. Heley whileliving in 1872, and was associated withhim as my client until the Fall of 1877,when we separated in Western Texas,, hegoing to Leadville, Col., and I returningto Memphis. Booth left with me a smalltintype for his future identification.This picture was taken some 12 yearsafter the assassination ofLincoln a.nd hasbeen identified by Junius Brutus Booth,oldest nephew of John Wilkes Booth, a9bring the picture of his uncle. It has*lsu been identified by the famous actor,the late Joseph Jefferson, and manyothers.
imperious temper. Yet another story-has it that the assassin spent the latterdays of his life under the name of DavidE. George, and that he married a Ken-t'lekv widow; their child, a daughter,winning success upon the stage.
Where lies the bones of the man shotill the Garrett barn, whose body wasbrought to Washington and dissected?
No one knows?It is generally believed that the
mound alleged to mark the assassin'sgrave in Greenmount Cemetery, Balti-more, covers no human remains. Forfear of vandalism the Booth family verywisely hid the corpse.
About 40 years ago one ChristopherC. Ritter, while lying in a hospital inAnderson, Ind., is alleged to have unbur-dened his conscience by confessing thatafter having been initiated into theKnights of the Golden Circle by Booth,he had been pressed to take part in aKidnapping of President Lincoln, butthat before the plaii was carried outBooth killed the President. Accompany-ing the assassin to Philadelphia, Ritterclaimed that he sailed with him forSouth America, where/ Booth became'Enos," the famous actor of Latin-America.

gained the most credence, Booth becamean Episcopal clergyman ard settled in aGeorgia town, where he was visited bylin brother, Edwin Booth. He continuedto limp lit 11 death and failed also todisguise his love for liquor and his

MASTER'S END.MUTINY OF CREW.
EXPLORER CAST ADRIFT,
UTJIfi emerged out of the unknown anddisappeared into the unknown
•under the most tragic circum-stances." Thus writes a biographer ofHenry Hudson, the discoverer of t>heHudson .River and the present site ofNew York.
The birth of this famous explorer isquite as much a mystery as his death.Some assert that he was a Dutchman,Hendrick Hudson; other® that he wasan Englishman. In one of his con-tracts with the Dutch East India Com-pany he is described as "Mr. HenryHudson, Englishman," and%e signed thedocument "Henry Hudson," although inother cases he used the Dutch equivalent"Hendrick."
There has been much speculation asto which was his actual name. Somesay that he was born in England andchristened "Henry," but that Englandproved ungrateful and he became aDutchman. He was the friend of boththe English explorer, Captain JohnSmith, and the Dutch geographer, Jaco-bus Hondiiw, whose maps made Amster-dam the hub of geographical science.
Hudson set out to find a north-west' passage to Japan and China by way ofthe North Pole. Instead, he made dis-coveries which gave to the world theArctic whale fisheries, Hudson Bay, thevalley of the Hudson River and Man-hattan Island. When he enifcarked, heleft behind him a wife and children,for whose support he insured his life forthe sum of £10.
Made Four Voyages.He made four voywges. During the
first—guided by the "new map" referredto by Shakespeare in "Twelfth Night"—he fought the icefloes and Arcticstreams for many weeks, made a newrecord for the "farthest north" and dis-covered Spitzbergen. During thesecond he was compelled by the ice toturn back "voide of hope," but duringthe third in his Half Moon he battledwith the ice around tjie southern shoresof Greenland, and being barred from thesupposed entrance to the north-westpassage by the frozen seas, turned south-ward, thus discovering the coastline fromMaine to Virginia, also the Delawareand Raritan Boys and the present har-bour of New York.
Her© one of his seamen killed anIndian and the Half Moon was attackedby a fleet of canoes, but without seriousresult. Finding that a largo riveremptied into New York Bay, the navi-gator ventured up it, hoping to find thenorth-west passage by that route; andthus he discovered the Hudson River asfar north as Albany.
Stopping at England on his way back,he wan detained by the King, whodeclared him an English subject—'tissaid, in order to give England the advan-tage of the discoveries. But Hudsonoutwitted the English sovereign by hav-ing smuggled into Holland the documentwhich gave that country credit for hisexplorations. .
The English now made the intrepidnavigator a proposition, which heaccepted. Fitting him up in the staunchship Discouerie, of 70 tons, they sent
I him out to once more seek the North-west Passage, thus hoping that he wouldwin for their native land the glory ofits discovery.
Crew Riae in Mutiny.Penetrating the long strait that
bears his name, he discovered that vastbody of water known as Hudson Bay.Winter overtook him before ho coujdfind his way out and he had to awaitthe return of summer while locked insidethis vast inland sea. Choosing a spoton the southernmost shore, he thereestablished his winter camp. It was aterrible wait. The freezing winds fromthe north not only chilled the ardourof his men but transformed many ofthem into veritable devils. After-enduring their indignities until springhe found a goodly number of themconspiring to undo him.
Though he shared all of their hard-ships, dividing "even with tears" hislast crumb of bread with them, revengecontinued to rankle in their bosoms,even after he had turned his ship home-f"4

also a supply of meal, an iron pot inwhich to • cook it, and other articles,which might ward off the Black Angeluntil the marooned victims could reachgame or a human habitation.
Some accounts state that the littleboat bearing Hudson and his party wastowed by the ship out of the icefloesand then cut loose in the open sea.According to others it was left adriftin Hudson Bay.
Pate Still a Mystery.After their return in the Discouerie
to England the mutineers reported thattheir master had died from naturalcauses, but one of their number laterconfessed.
In 1612, by order of the Prince ofWales, a relief expedition was sent outin search for Hudson, but failed in itsmission.
Three years after his disappearancehis wife, complaining of having been"left very poor," petitioned the EnglishEast India Company to give employ-ment to a surviving son. The requestwas granted, the youth being given £5for apparel' and placed aboard one
of the company's ships, the Samaritan.What became of Hudson is one of the
mysteries of history. A man of his'daring and rugged constitution, left tohis own devices after the close of winterand supplied with a gun, powder, shotand food, had a fair chance of sustain-ing himself and of reaching the hauntsof the natives who, as later discoveriesshowed, inhabited the Hudson Bayregion.
Certain "White Indians" afterwardfound in these parts were supposed tohave descended from him and his son.
Irving, in his "Rip Van Winkle,"echoes a tradition that the brave navi-gator wandered down from Canada intothe Catskill Alountains, upon whoseslopes his spirit later abided.
HUSBAND CHARGED.
STABBING WIFE'S LOVER.
PRISON RECONCILIATION.
Reconciliation in prison between "awife, who was said to have run' awaywith a lodger, and her husband, who wasaccused of stabbing him, was revealedto the magistrate at West London. Thehusband, Harry Godbold, 22, a coachfitter, of Cairns Road, Battersea, wassent for trial at the Old Bailey on acharge of attempting to murder CharlesAlfred Burrows, a coach painter, bystabbing him with a sheath knife.
Some weeks ago, it was stated, God-bold took Burrows, who was out ofwork, into his home as a lodger. Amonth later Burrows and Mrs. Godboldleft, and went to live together at Shep-herd's Bush.
After a vain search for his. wife, God-bold went to Shepherd's Bush LabourExchange, where he knew Burrows wassigning on, and, seeing him there withhis wife, is alleged to have .stabbed himwith a sheath knife he had bought a fewhours before.
When Godbold was arrested he wasalleged to have said: "I wish to God Ihad killed him, and her, too. If I get10 years I'll have him whrfn I come out."On being charged, it was alleged, hesaid: "I did not intend to murder him;I only intended to cripple him."
The case had been adjourned for theattendance of Burrows, but it wasstated that although he luid now beendischarged from hospital lie was not inCourt. It was agreed that he should besummoned to attend the trial.
When Godbold was committed fortrial his solicitor, Mr. H. Pierron. madean application for bail. He said Godboldwould give an undertaking not toapproach Burrows or interfere with himin any way.
The magistrate pointed out that inview of the statements alleged to havebeen made by Godbold he ilid not feeljustified in allowing bail.
Mr. I'ierron then said that during theremand Godbokls wife had visited himin Brixton Prison, and they had becomereconciled. "I have a letter she wrote tohim in prison, couched in quite affec-tionate terms," he added.
The magistrate declined to alter hisdecision.
DEATH IN GAOL.
MOTHER'S TRAGIC END.
SAW BABY AND WAS HAPPY,
Before she died in hospital at Hol-loway gaol, 20-year-old Mary Ann Flynn,who was serving an eight-year sentence,saw her newly-born baby and was happy.
This was disclosed at the inquest atthe gaol, when a verdict of death fromnatural causes was returned.
The child was. reported to be makinggood progress, and will be called Shirley,the name her convict mother chose forher. She weighed seven pounds atbirth,and has blue eyes and brown hair. MaryFlynn gave birth to her child at 12.5p.m. on Coronation Day. .
From then on nurses were at her bed-side day and night, but they and awoman doctor, who administered oxygenand brandy, worked in vain to save herlife.
The deputy-coroner, Dr. W. R. H.Heddy, remarked that in these daysante-natal supervision was a very im-portant matter, and it was satisfactoryto know that the girl in this case wasexamined thoroughly, and perhaps morefrequently than prospective mothersoutside gaol."
A Neat Little Ward.Mary Flynn's mother first received
news that her daughter was dangerouslyill when a policeman called at her homeat Quinn's Buildings, Bethnal Green.She immediately visited her daughter,and although shocked at Mary's subse-quent death she praised the treatmentgiven by the prison authorities.
"Had Mary been in the best nursinghome," Mrs. Flynn declared, "she couldnot have been looked after better. Shewas in a neat little ward by herself."
The eight-year sentence that Mary |Ann Flynn was serving followed hertrial, with Alfred Stratford, 41-year-oldlabourer, for the murder of Mrs. AdaFortescue, a Shepherd's Bush widow.Stratford was sentenced to death, butwas reprieved. Mary Ann Flynn was jconvjcted of manslaughter. She had Jserved five months of her sentence. '

WOMAN'S OUTBURST."MUST HAVE BEEN CRAZY."
COLOURED MAN' S VICTIM
Alleging that she had been led awayby fantastic stories told her by a col-oured man, a woman who forsook herhome and husband, declared from thewitness-box at Liverpool: '"He seemedto have some great influence over me.
I must have l>cen crazy." Shemade this outburst while the magistrateswore investigating charges againstCharles Human Clarke (3ft). describedas a teacher, of no lixed address, accus-ing hinj of obtaining money or food andlodging by false pretences, and unlaw-fully assaulting a woman and a girl.
For the prosecution, Mr. T. A. Smithobserved that if the police allegationswere true, Clarke was undoubtedly adangerous and deceitful scoundrel—dan-gerous because lie had posed as a doctorand prescribed medicine for people whowere suffering from different illnessesand who trusted in his prescriptions, anddeceitful because lie had forced hisunscrupulous attentions on an unsus-pecting woman, inducing iier to leave herhome and her husband.
Mr. Smith went on to say that whileClarke was lodging in M nigra ve Street,Liverpool, he learned that tTie landlady'sseven-year.-old granddaughterhad been inhospital with a septic throat. "Clarketold the parents what the girl wassuffering from," declared Mr. Smith, "buthe was only relating what the grand-mother had told him. Later Clarkeagain examined the girl and suppliedmedicine and a gargle. For that treat-ment Clarke obtained £1 16/0 from theparents."
"Brotherhood Of Silence."Mr. Smith also stated that Clarke
examined a. woman who had a smalllump on her back, and when she toldClarke what her doctor's opinion wa-.Clarke remarked, "The doctor who toldyou that is a disgrace to the profession."
In that case Clarke obtained £1.When Clarke was interviewed by thepolice he told them that he was not adoctor of medicine, but a teacher ofbotany. In his. possession were foundthe "Brotherhood of Silence" certificate,and a diploma of the "Church of Light.*'
Mrs. Hilda Maud Fawcett, whoexplained that she was now living withher husband and 12-vear-old daughterin Liverpool, told the Court that aboutNovember, their house was up forsale, and Clarke called and inquired witha view to purchasing it. This was thefirsf time she had met him.
He introduced himself as Dr. Clarke,and said he had just arrived in thi*country from the Gold Coast, that hewas *in Liverpool recuperating, an.lwished to purchase a suitable house. Herhusband was not in, and she asked himto call again.
When he called a second time her hus-band was again out. and this time Clarkerelated to lier more or less his life story—of how be came to be a doctor ofmedicine, passing with honours in Lon-don, and of the great wealth that hehad acquired on the Cold Coast, wherehe had his own hospital near Accra.
He also made out that lie was buildinga maternity hospital there, and said hohad been buying equipment for thathospital in England. He gave her avery clear impression that he was a doc-tor and a wealthy man. and his appear-ance and manner strengthened thisimpression.
"At that time I was living in ratherunhappy circumstances with my hus-band," continued Mrs. Fawr-ett, '"and 1Clarke induced ■me to meet him occa-isionally. He wanted nie to get a divorce,said he would sec to all my wants, lookafter ine and marry me, and that liewould see my daughter was given thebest education.
"I ,met him from time to time, and hespoke of the thousands of pounds worthof property he had on the Gold C'< >;««:.
He said he was expecting a bank draftof £400 from his estates, adding thathe was temporarily financially embar-rassed, and I lent him many sums ofmoney, ranging from 2/<i to £1.
"About tlie middle of December Clarkeasked me for a loan of as his bankdraft had not come through. As I halnot this amount at the time I wrote tomv brother in Surrey, and he sent me£.">. which I gave to Clarke.
'"I visited Clarke at his rooms inRhiwlas Street on many occasions, andhe always mentioned the delay in tliearrival of bis bank draft, and I lent himmore money to tide him over.
"Ruined My Life.""About, this time Dr. Clarke, as 1
believed him to be. induced me to leavemy husband bv his stories of his greatwealth, and 1 went to live with him inChurch Mount as his wife.''
Mr. Smith: How was he earning moneyto keep you there?—Mrs. Fawcett: 1think he was preaching.
Mrs. Kawcctt went on to say thatClarke promised that when he had ahouse lixed up he would go back to the< !old Coast, sell his estates there, andcome hack and marry her. starting amedical practice from that house.
"1 had always been (juite satisfied thathe was a doctor and very wealthy.added Mrs. Fawcett. "I kept on lendinghim all the money I could afford, andfinally, realising my foolishness. 1 wentback to my husband, who had by thistime learned of my association withClarke. Clarke has ruined my life. Hehas certainly given me more unhappi-ness than I have ever before experi-enced."

nation uttered by Mr. JusticeSingleton when, at Leicester Assizes, hepassed sentence of five years' penal ser-vitude on a youth of IS who admittedcommitting a grave offence against a
17-year-old girl."There are a great many people who
dislike the idea of corporal punishment,"the judge went on, "hut I imagine mostof these—and very many more—willregret I have no power to order you tohe whipped."
The youth he addressed, dazed whenhe heard the sentence, had stated fromthe dock, "I deserve whatever punish-ment vou decide."
The youth, Robert Evelyn Lamming,unemployed labourer, of Dronlield Street.Leicester, stood before the judge withthree others. John Arthur Robinson, IS,labourer, of Woodhill, Leicester: Art.iurFrederick Lewis, 17, labourer, of LangHill, Leicester; and a lt*>-year-oldbutcher's assistant.
These three each admitted assaultingthe pirl, whom all four carried off in astolen motor car ill which they were"joy-riding."
•The girl's wrists were bound, she wasgagged, and after the assault she wasleft naked with a coat over her shoulders-by the roadside to make her own wayhome.
"Your part in this affair was such asmust shock most people,'* Mr. JusticeSingleton told the three.
"Need Discipline.""I hope you are thoroughly ashamed
of yourselves. I am satisfied it is neces-sary you should each be su ijected todiscipline for a Jon<j period. -

Ordering them to be sent to Borstalfor three years, the judge added: "I hopethey will be sent to different institu-tions." |
All four expressed their sorrow for theoffences. They had been in custody two Jmonths.
Concerning the <rirl against whom theoffences were committed, Miss HildaMary Glover, shoe-hand, of Mere Lane,
Mr. D. L. Finnemore.prosecuting counsel, declared:
"I wish to emphasise there lias neverbeen a breath of suspicion against MissGlover. She is a young lady of thehighest respectability. She ga\o not theslightest encouragement for the out-rageous treatment to which she wassubjected.''

"When the two gills were returninghome a motor car, in which the fouryouths were riding, overtook them. Itturned back, and passed and repassedthem several times, but neither girl tookany notice. They refused to give the
encouragement to the occu-pants of the c«r.
"The car drew up by the sid.e of theroad, and one of the youths asked to bedirected to a garage.
"The rear door of the car was open."|Mr. Finneniore declared, "and Lamming, jthe driver, was pretending to tinkerwith the engine. Suddenly he seizedMiss Glover and threw her into the backof the vehicle, which was then driven !off at a high speed.
"Miss Glover struggled and screamed,!and her friend shouted and ran off to!raise the alarm.

"In the car Lamming and one of hiscompanions began to pull off M issGlover's clothes. Lamming put a silksj:arf over her mouth to deaden herscreams, and tried to tie her hand* with'a handkerchief.

SCREEN LIGHTS and SHADOWSCHEATERS OF DEATH.Hollywood's "Stunt" Men.
RISKING LIFE FOR SPECTACULAR EFFECT.(By SHEILA
MARTHA RAYE made history on theset of Para mount's "MountainMusic'' recently by insisting on
performing her own dangerous adagiodance.
"It's like this," she explained toDirector Robert Florey. "I receive 1000dollars a week. If I'm hurt, the studiowill still pay me my salary. A stuntgirl gets 50 dollars a day. If she breaksa leg, arm or neck, that's her lookout—and she lias to pay her hospital bills.It isn't fair."
I told this story to Bob Rose, dean ofthe 32 working "stunters" in Hollywood.He la-ughed. "An adagio dance is duckgoup to what we are willing and eagerto do," said the slight, nervous-looking"death-cheater," who has set the pacein movie "stunts" for the last 20 years.Rose was the tirst to make the changefrom motor-cycle to aeroplane, then from'plane to train, and to turn over anautomobile five times without the helpof ramps.
The least he is paid for risking hisneck is 73 dollars—for a high dive. Hishighest salary for a single day's workwm 2500 dollars for a series of stuntsin "Haunted Valley," the thrill serial inwhich Ruth Roland starred, sixteen years•go. For this money he made two aero-
1926'—while "stunting" in an automo-bile for the Warner Brothers picture,"Madcap Heiress," has resulted in elimi-nating most of the few women whospecialise in this type of screen "acci-dent." As a general rule the fee foran automobile "turn turtle" is deter-mined by the number of spills expectedor executed. Rose charges 150 dollarsfor the lirst turn and 100 dollars foreach subsequent roll-over, with a maxi-mum of 400 dollars for the completed"stunt," plus hospital fees and treat-ment—if anything goes wrong.
To accomplish a motor wreck the"stunter" travels at high speed andthen suddenly swerves his steeringwheel either to the left or right. Thechief danger is being crushed in thecab of the car as it turns over andover. This is minimised by reinforcingthe top with steel braces. The highestprice ever paid a stunt man was toDick Grace, "ace" war pilot and themost spectacular "stunt" man the indus-try ever knew. Grace, now the authorof four books and retired, figured in 50aeroplane crashes.
His masterpiece was a "crack-up" for"Wings," in which he dived a 'plane 200miles an hour into a head-on collisionwith the earth for a price of 3500 dol-lars. Nice work—if you want it!
plan# changes—transferring from one•hip to another in mid-air—a changefrom train to 'plane, a. leap from a mov-ing auto to the under-catriage of yetanother 'plane. He also overturned twoautomobiles.
Water Is Dangerous.His most dangerous job was doubling
for Tony Moreno. He had to jump fromas automobile to a flat car between twofreight cars of a moving train. It wasessential to time the jump accuratelyor be would have hit the side of theoncoming box car. There was only one"take," and Rose lived to receive hisasking price, 800 dollars.
Rose specialises in such pleasantries•• falling off a house roof to a lawn —
for 150 dollars; careering down a flightof stairs—so dollars a tumble; turninga car over three times—for 100 dollars;a head-on automobile crash—200 dollars;'plane crash—1500 dollars—if he lives tocollect.
A nice little job he did recently for"Slave Ship" was falling 50ft from thethe rigging of a sailing ship into water—at 250 dollars a fall. In comparison tolome other "stunts," this does not soundparticularly difficult but, to an experi-enced etunter, it is the quintessence ofdanger. Water from this heightpossesses the resistance of steel—par-ticularly if it is clear. Waves arefilled with oxygen and give with thebody—if it goes in the right way. Thewrong way is just as likely to maim ainan for life.
GRAHAM.)
Rose does not care particularly todouble- for the female stars. "In any-thing spectacular, you're liable to loseyour wig," he complains. His lastfeminine "understudy" was ClaireTrevor in "Time Out for Romance" —
four car skids in one day—for 100 dol-lars. In the old days, Bob did a lot ofdoubling for Pearl White. lMsguised asthe Serial Queen, he once jumped a horecoff a cliff 05ft into rough water belowa waterfall.

HOUSE ON A HILLTOP.
«P.G." IN HOLLYWOOD.
SWIMS, HIKES, READS ANDWRITES.
Daily from 10 in the morning untilone o'clock, and from 4 p.m. until dinnertime, a large, pleasant English gentle-man sits at a typewriter in the studyof his hilltop home in Hollywood andhammers away on stories.
He is P. G. Wodehouse, now in thefilm colony to write for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. One of the leading humoristsof the present day, Wodehouse workson schedule just as though he were anewspaper man. He must typewritehimself, to keep up the flow of his plotand humours. He can't dictate nor canhe seem to think when he tries long-hand. The only handwriting he does iswhen he is relaxing to think out ideas.Then he scribbles notes.
The typewriter is a new one. recentlyacquired. Before it came into theWodehouse household, he had a machinewhich he bought 'second-hand in 1911,and used continuously for 25 years.
When he is adhering strictly to hisworking schedule, Wodehouse goes intoseclusion at 10 a.m. and emerges at 1p.m. for lunch. Then he takes a longwalk.
Swimming and Night Clubs.He has taken a home at the very top
of one of Hollywood's "mountains," fromwhich the view of Hollywood, BeverlyHills and Los Angeles is amazing. Thesurrounding hills give him plenty ofhiking opportunities. "Then I comehome and plunge into the swimmingpool," he explains. "Swimming is myfavourite exercise since I gave up golf-ing a few years ago. I'd like to spendall day in the pool, but I have to worksometimes, I'm afraid." After theswim he is ready for another two or per-haps three hours at his typewriter. Bythat time he has developed a pleasingappetite. He is thankful for the vege-tables and fruits of Southern Californiawhen dinner time comes.
Night-club life? Not much of it for"P. G." "Not even in London or Parisdid I go to night clubs often," heasserts. "That isn't my idea of anevening., Ideal evening relß.xa.tion forme is reading. I love to settle downafter dinner for an evening with a bookand to bed early. If my wife and Ifeel the urge to go out in the evening,we go to a cinema and are home by 10p.m."

THE GOOD DIE YOUNG.
GRIM REAPER'S HARVEST.
YOUTHFUL HOLLYWOODVICTIMS.
CINEMA TRAGEDIES RECALLED.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
HOLLYWOOD, June 23.With the death of eight prominent
Hollywood personalities—six of themunder 40—in a year which is not yethalf its age, 1937 bids fair to some newkind of a record for the cinema city.
To the visitor Hollywood is a city ofglittering triumph and hidden heart-break. The tragedy that cut shortJean Harlow's brilliant career was sotypical of Hollywood that it threw intopathetic relief the series of pitiful earlydemises that came the way of so manyfilm celebrities in their twenties andearly thirties.
This year's toll numbers, in order, thefollowing:—Ross Alexander, MartinJohnson, Marie Prevost, Sir Guy Stand-ing, Helen Burgess, Jean Harlow, ColinClive and Monroe Owsley.
Think Upon the Past.Of these, Martin Johnson and Sir Guy
alone had passed the 40 mark. HelenBurgess was only 18, Jean Harlow 26,Monroe Owsley 35 and Colin Clive 37when natural death overtook them.
Other victims of the Grim Reaperunder the fateful 40 during recent yearsare called to mind: Marilyn Miller, JohnGilbert, Gordon Westcott, Lilyan Tash-nian, Dorothy Dell, Junior Durkin,Thelma Todd, Russ Columbo, RobertWilliams and Irving Thalberg.
Further back there were RudolphValentino, Barbara La Marr, AlmaRubens, Olive Thomas, Mabel Normand,Marjorie White, Edith Roberts and Wal-lace Reid in the same category.
The average death-age for Hollywoodpersonalities within the j>ast five orsix years has been 39—and that takesinto account such veterans as MarieDressier (65), Will Rogers (56), "Chic"Sale (51), O. P. Heggie (58) Henry B.Walthall (58), Sam Hardy (56), MiltonSills (48), Thomas Meighan (57), ErnestTorrence (55), Lon Chaney (47), SirGuy Standing (63), and Lucv Beaumont(68).
Death Takes No Holiday.Fifty stars were included in thw sur-
vey, and while it is no guide tolongevity it is yet an index to mortality.Naturally, with the films as full ofcharacter actors as they are, many,indeed, have passed the 39 mark. Alarge number are in their fifties, andsome even in their sixties and stillactive.
Accidental deaths have taken a fewlike Miss Dell, Columbo, and Miss Todd.There have been a few suicides, but notmany. In the majority of cases naturalcauses brought the passing of those whoeither had gained popularity or wereseeaningly destined for favour in theeyes of the public.
Insurance companies, from time totime, have divulged unofficially that theydo not? consider film kings and queensthe best risks owing to the fitful andoften precarious nature of their life, the |exhausting effects of lights on theirhealth, and other considerations. How-ever. some of the largest insurancepolicies are written up for these samemovie luminaries. There is no strictrule about that. It is pointed out thatstars' lives are more exacting than mostpeople realise, and when they are work-ing in pictures they have to adheregenerally to a striet regime of diet andrest. Yet there is no normality abouttheir lives even in these respects, forfrequently they work long hours, andtheir desires and needs in food have tobe regulated by screen requirements,which occasionally force them to severedieting. Xor can they always giveattention' to minor ailments which theseat the moment seem to call for. It is.therefore, quite a combination of healthdeterrents which the stars sometimesface, and these produce the hazards thatare in their way peculiar to the studiolife.
This week's cables mentioned thedeath following a brain tumor operationof the famous composer. George Gersh-win, who wrote the unforgettable"Rhapsody in Blue." at the age of 38.He left completed five song numbers ofan assignment of nine which he wasdoing for Samuel Goldwvn's "Follies'film.

FUTURE OF COLOUR.
ALL FILMS IN TEN YEARS?
SAMITEI. GOLDWYN CONVERTED
RECENT EFFORTS IN BRITAIN.
Film folk abroad are stirred as neverbefore by tlie possibilities of colour as aregular screen medium. The day of itsballyhoo as an extraordinary attractionis passing, giving place to its use asthe more natural medium of cinemaentertainment.
"The day will come," says Dave Gould,M.G.M.'s famous dance director, "whenwe will look back on the era of black-and-white as we do now at the silents—with tolerant amusement. That daycannot be more than ten vears off."
Gould's prediction is given moreweight by the announcement from
Samuel Goldwyn that he would makeonly colour films in future. This marksprobably the most important step evertaken in the development of colour.
For some time producers affiliated withUnited Artists have been active in thecolour field. David O. Selznick claimsattention as being the first producer tomake a large-scale colour film. "The (iar-den of Allah." He followed this by star-ring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March in
first modern story in Technicolour,"A Star is Born." Now Selznick plansto co-star Carole Lombard and FredricMarch in "Nothing Sacred." an originalstory by Ben Hecht. to be filmed inTechnicolour under direction of WilliamWellman, who directed "A Star is Born."
Walter Wanger, who made "The Trailof the Lonesome Pine," has now in pro-duction "Walter Wauger's Vogues of1938." a Teclmicolour musical starringWarner Baxter and Joan Bennett. Tofollow this the producer plans :i colourversion of "The Arabian Nights with a
cast headed by Sylvia Sidney, MadeleineCarroll, Joan Bennett and Henry Fonda.
Samuel Goldwyn has scheduled forearly production "The Goldwyn Follies,"on which he proposes to spend £300,000.
In Britain there are two rival systems—Technicolour and Chemicolour. Theformer, of American origin, has a specialplant erected at Denham last year andcontrolled by the inventor's wife, NatalieKalinuss. Alexander Korda is makinguse of it for "A Bicycle Built For Two"and for two pictures as yet only underconsideration. Victor Saville will directthe first. Then there is the first all-colour picture to be made in Britain,'"Wings of the Morning," with Annabellaand a pretentious cast. This is com-pleted and ready for English andAmerican release.
Chemicolour was used in certainscenes in Korda's operatic film versionof "I Pagliacci," starring RichardTauber. This system is sufficiently pro-mising to induce William Fox, million-aire former Hollywood inogul, to emergefrom retirement in America and go toBritain to assist Karl Grune, Continentaldirector-producer, in exploiting it.
FAMOUS CINEMA SLEUTH AND HIS SON.—Charlie Chan, of eoune,portrayed by Warner Oland, and hi* heir and protege Keye Luke, in their
latest of the popular series, "Charlie Chan at the Olympics."
CAN YOU SEE IT?—American film magazine* are proclaiming that theyoung Frenchman Fernand Gravet, who went to Hollywood after i»«»lrii. gpictures in France and England under his correct name, Fernand Graavey,resembles none other than the Duke of Windsor in the tale of a monarchwho gave up Royalty for love. This picture, "The King and the ChorusGirl, had its title for British and New Zealand consumption to"Romance in Paris."
FRENCH FILM STAR.
NEW "DISCOVERY» HAILED.
REFUSED HOLLYWOOD OFFERS.
Mireille Balin. aged 24, has beenacclaimed France's No. 1 star and a can-didate for the mantle of Garbo.
There is nothing mysterious about thenew rival to Greta Garbo, who has risento fame as the result of her perform-ance in her first important role, that oflead in the French film, "Pepe le Moko,"which has been running for four monthsin Paris and which was recently pre-sented in London.
Mireille Balin attended the Londonpremiere. She flew to England un-heralded—and did not mind.
"My life story is told in a few words,"she said. "I was born in Monte Carlo,went to school in Paris until I was 18,and began work as a mannequin. I toreone of the model gowns, and was putout at the door. Then for sorite time Iwas an advertising model, and my faceappeared on magazine covers."
Then, apparently, one of those thingshappened of which most pretty girlsdream. A famous French director sawher in a restaurant, recognised the maga-zine face that had fascinated him, madeher an offer, and signed her up next dajjwithout a film test.
Felt Hat and Flat-heeled Shoes.The impression she has made in "Pepe
le Moko" has been so favourable thatshe has had three lucrative offers fromHollywood studios—and refused them. ]
She was met at the aeroplane, too,with an offer of £400 a week to appearin a West End of London cabaret. Shelaughed her curiously high-pitched littlelaugh, and shook her head. "What, singin a restaurant? Of course not! lammuch too timid."
Mireille Balin is small and light, slimto the point of thinness. Her golden-brown eyes are extraordinary, her im-mense eyelashes startling, her pointedface not otherwise remarkable. Far fromadopting the mink coat and orchidswhich are a recognised feature of star"glamour," she arrived in a bine woollencoat, a felt hat and flat-heeled shoes.

MARTYRS TO SCIENCE.
Unusual Sacrifices of Last Feu) Years.
SELF-INDUCED PAIN FOR OBSERVATIONPURPOSES.
(By WILLIAM
NEW YORK.
ONE of the most unusual cases of asurgeon suffering an injury he hadoften spared others occurred in
February, 1935, when Dr. John M.Wheeler, head of the Eye Institute ofthe Columbia Presbyterian MedicalCentre and professor of opthalmology atColumbia Medica<l School, lost the useof one eye.
Dr. Wheeler had saved countlesspatients from total or partial blindnessby his skilful surgery, among themPrajadhlpok, former King of Siam, onwhom he operated for cataract of theleft eye in May, 1931. There was astory current at the time that when hesent in his bill it contained no figures,but simply the sentence: "The king cando no wrong." In return he was said tohave received a cheque for £50,000.
A month after the operation thatremoved the crystalline lens of theking's eye he was able to see comfort-ably with glasses, for cataract, thethickening of the crystalline lens, canbe corrected by surgery. But Dr.Wheeler himself was less fortunate, for,in 1935, he developed a tumour, also inthe left eye, and there was no way ofpreserving the sight of that eye whenthe tumour was removed.
Sleeping Sickness.Sleeping sickness caused one of the
most unusual experiments ever made bydoctors on themselves. The kind ofsleeping sickness that occurs inAmerica to-day has little in commonwith the sleeping sickness of WestAfrica, which Koch traced to.the tsetsefly that lives on crocodile blood.American and European sleeping sick-ness is known technically as encephalitislethargica, and, far from being a tropi-cal disease, it is a winter illness, mostcases appearing in February and March,with more deaths among whites thannegroes. It attacks people of every ageand occupation, and both sexes. Itmay be chronic or acute; and it maycause insomnia instead of sleepiness.
Nothing so simple as a shipment ofparrots or an airminded mosquito hasbeen discovered to account for thismalady's sudden appearance in theyears since the war. Some authoritiesidentify it with various European mala-dies of the sixteenth century, but thisis largely speculation. Our only realclue to its nature is the fact that thereappears to be a time-relation betweenit and epidemics of influenza.
Spread During World War.In its early stages H is often mis-
taken for influenza, and, like that dis-ease, it appeared and spread during thewar; Rumania, 1915: France and Aus-tria, 1917; England, 1918; United Statesand Canada, 1920. There had beenisolated cases in the United States asearly as 1911,bnt it was never epidemichere until after the war, and it wasespecially widespread from 1920 to 1926.Rosenow, expert on diseases of the brainand spinal cord, has suggested thetheory that influenza and sleeping sick-ness are caused by the same germ indifferent stages of the germ's develop-ment.
The disease Is especially horriblebecause no cure is known as yet and,even if the patient does not die, his mindis permanently affected. Sometimes hehas hardly more than neurasthenia.Sometimes he reaches the most extremedevelopments of insanity.
Dr. J. P. Leake, public health officer,and eight assistants, allowed themselvesto be bitten by mosquitoes which hadfed on the blood of victims of the diseaseduring the epidemic in St. Louis in Sep-tember, 1933, an epidemic which hadalready killed ninety people. Theysought to determine whether Americansleeping sickness is carried by mosqui-toes as African sleeping sickness iscarried by flies.
Still a Mystery.At first nothing happened. But ft
occurred to Dr. Leake that he and hisassistants might have acquired immunityto the disease through caring for itsvictims. Where could he get absolutelyfresh human guinea pigs to take such arisk T
Thero were no volunteers. But finallyDr. Leake and the State authorities putit up to the "lifers" of the MississippiState Prison. Ten of these convictsagreed to risk their lives and sanity inreturn for a promise of freedom if theydid not fall ill. Fortunately for them,the doctors had guessed wrong. Mos-quitoes do not carry sleeping sickness,as the experiment proved. For the con-victs did not fall ill after they were bit-ten by the infected mosquitoes. TheState of Mississippi kept its word andset them free. And the transference ofsleeping sickness from one person toanother remains a mystery.
Studies Own Disease.The doctor or biologist who loses his
life in the service of medicine has reallybecome as familiar as the sea captain,who goes down with his ship and thefireman who dies of burns in the courseof duty. Ia on® unique case it was theother way around. A man, or, rather, aboy, finding himself the victim of a dis-ease that was sure to be fatal, devotedthe last few years of life to the study ofmedicine, in the hope of throwing somelight on his own disease before he died.
This boy was Dr. Alfred Eeinhart, ofDorchester, Mass., who died in Decem-ber, 1931, at the age of 24. His troublewas heart trouble, which in its manyforms causes more deaths than any othersingle disease to-day. When he was astudent at Boston English High Schoolan attack of rheumatism damaged avalve of his hea-rt. Ho promptly devotedhimself to the study of medicine, work-ing his way through Harvard withscholarships, and being graduated magnacum laude.
Refused All Opiates.During his later under-graduate years
10 discovered that particles were break-ing off from the scar on his injuredlieart and lodging in the veins andarteries throughout hie body. He rea-lised then that he must expect sub-acute bacterial encarditis. That meantthat streptococcus germs would per-meate his wtiole system, destroying thered corpuscles necessary to life. InJuly of his last year of life he wasdining with his sister and her husband
C. McCLOY.)
in Dorchester, when bright red blotchesappeared on hi«& skin. That meant thatthe red corpuscles were dissolving, andtheir colour had. permeated his tissues.It also meant that he had only aboutfour months to live.
He went at once to Dr. Soma Weiss,assistant-professor of medicine at Har-vard Medical School, who conducts aclinic at Boston Hospital. Alone in alittle room set aeide for him there heawaited the end, making copious notesof his observation of his own disease.In epite of excruciating pain he refusedall opiates, as they would have dulledthe symptoms he was so anxious toobserve. According to Dr. Weiss, whowatched over him until he died, hisdiagnosis of "the disease was absolutelycorrect to the minutest detail, and hisnotes contain many unusual observa-tions not known previously to medicalscience.
Heroie Experiments.There have been several other doctors
who made a subjective study of pain inthe last few year*—perhaps the stran-gest of all the human sacrifices toscience. Their pain was not incidentalto disease or surgery. It -was experi-mental pain, deliberately induced forthe purpose of analysis. Dr. DavidWaterson and his assistants, of St.Andrew's, Scotland, spent months stick-ing long, sharp needles into their bodies,deep enough to touch bones and deep-setorgans, in order to find out which tissuesof the body are supplied with nervesthat can feel pain. Most pain, theydiscovered, is felt by the skin and thecoating of the arteries. The heart,stomach and internal organs do notappear to feel pain at aIL
At the University of Budapest a groupof medical students consented to behanged by a special apparatus designedto cut off their breath and the circula-tion of blood to their brains just as ifthey were being really hanged by thehangmen. Assistants were at hand torevive them before it was too late andno one died. But the sensations weresaid to be exactly the same as in actualhanging. At George Washington Uni-versity pupils of Professor F. A. Mosswent without sleep for 60 hours in orderto study the effect of insomnia on mind,memory and character.
Professor Donald Laird, of Colgatetogether wifh his students
and even his own email eon, volunteeredto swallow rubber balloons with tubesattached. The balloons were then blownup in order to discover to what extentthe stomach contracted when a personwas made to jump by the stimulus of asudden loud noise.—N.A.NA

BANNS HUMOUR.
A rustic couple, after having had theirbanna of marriage published the pre-scribed number of times, proceeded toLarkhall Church to be wed. The serviceproceeded smoothly until the clergymanasked: "William Wisher, wilt thou havethis woman to be thy wedded wife?"The bridegroom replied, with someastonishment, that his name was notWilliam Wisher, and the ceremony wassuspended. Investigation revealed thatthe bridegroom had written to the sextonof the church requesting him to havethe banns published, and then concludedhis letter thus: "So no more from yourWell Wisher and Mary Williams." Thesexton, supposing that William Wisherwas the name of the intending benedict,published the banns accordingly. Thecouple were compelled to await the pub-lication of the banns in their propernames.
At the parish church of Seaford, Sus-sex, the cleric was reading the banns ofa marriage when one of the congregationexclaimed: "I forbid the wedding." Hewas requested to walk into the vestryand explain his reasons for so doing."Are you a relative?" queried the clergy-man. "No," replied the man. "I'm thebridegroom; but having learned that Cisshas a tongue that, after marriage, willrun faster than the clack of her master'smill, I am resolved to b£ off; ,so yourreverence may marry her yourself, ifyou please."
A middle-aged agricultural labourercallod upon the session clerk of Alloa-andinquired the charge for publishing the"cries" (i.e., banns of marriage) threetimea on the same Sunday. "A pound,"replied the clerk. "An' what d'ye takwhen ye tak' two Sundays to dae't?"Half a guinea." "An' what d'ye chairgewhen ye tak' three Sundays to't?"heven and six." "I see, the langer yetak to dae't, the cheaper it gets; justcry awa' till ye pay yerselM" and a-wavwent therustic.
DISA GRANDIFLORA.
No terrestrial orchid commands moreattention than Disa grandiflora, thebeautiful species found on Table Moun-tain, near Capetown. Everyone whohas seriously taken up the culture oforchids has at some time or other triedto cultivate this Disa, but, judging fromthe many poor specimens seen fromtime to time in collections the resultsare very far from satisfactory, exceptin a few instances. The remarkablepoint about the culture of Disa grandi-flora, however, is that where the plantsdo well they grow like the proverbialweeds, and under conditions that appearto be easily reproducible in othergardens. A moist atmosphere is oneof the things to be provided, but toooften this is accompanied by a stuffi-ness and high temperature that do notsuit the plants. Wherever Disa grandi-flora is grown the great point is to tryplants in various situations until themost suitable is found, rememberingalways that it is a cool orchid and onethat must not be severely tested, though
■naturally it does not require a largesupply of water when not in fullgrowth. One plant in a, pot, and annualpotting generally secure the bestresults.
CABBAGES.
The cabbage is a perennial vegetable,and is, or should be, in the garden atall seasons. It may be relied upon todo well when many other vegetablesfail. The ideal cabbage is one grownquiekly on rich, well-worked soil; thenthe leaves are tender and juicy, and firmhearts are formed. . Once the emailplants have become established tiheyshould be hurried on with regular dosec*of weak nitrate of soda solution andmuch hoeing. For the next few weeksthe ground between the drills should beturned over and. plenty of manure anddecaying vegetable rubbish dug into it.After a time the plants are earthed up■with this enriched soil.
PRACTICAL GARDENINGtgfltrp[tPRUNING FRUIT TREES.
METHODS AND OBJECTS.
The season is again at hand when notonly pruning, but the dressing of thevarious orchard trees will need com-pletion. The pruning, however, shouldbe first dealt with, and the peach andkindred trees 'should be the firsttreated. In pruning any varieties offruit trees, the chief object should beto endeavour to furnish the trees withan even distribution of fruiting material.Such varieties as apples, pears, Euro-pean plums, cherries, and a few othertrees unlike the peach and many ofthe Japanese plume, form their fruit-ing buds upon spurs upon the olderbranches, so that the pruning shouldbe done with the view of encouragingas many as these as possible to form.To be successful in pruning the operatorshould be able to distinguish the differ-ence between a fruiting and a wood-producing bud. Fruit trees, whatevertheir stage of growth, require a certainamount of pruning each season, thoughdiffering in degree according to age andconditions of growth. Large fruit-bearing trees, for instance, that havebeen attended to each year, may needbut little pruning, simply shorteningback irregular growths being all thatmay be required. As already stated,apples, pears, European plums, cherries,and a few other trees, form their fruit-ing buds upon the older branches, andin most cases they are produced in pro-portion to the care taken in pruning.With some varieties of apples and pearsfruiting buds will sometimes form uponthe extremities of the branches. These,however, are comparatively few, andwill, with reasonable ft ire in pruning,form fruiting spurs the same as others.No trees should be allowed to growaway unchecked simply to secure a fewfruit* from the tips of the brancheswhile the whole body of the tree isdevoid of fruiting wood. There can beno hard and fast rule laid down forpruning, as trees vary so much in growthaccording to the soil and methods ofcultivation. Trees, for instance, thatare growing in deep alluvial soils, willoften make twice the amount of growthof those growing in more heavy, reten-tive soils. In pruning, first remove theinside branches, and in shortening orremoving other shoots the shape of thetrjee must be carefully studied, an effortbeing made to so regulate the branchesas to form a shapely, well-balancedtree without any undue crowding of thebranches. In shortening back thegrowths they should, in every instance,be cut back to a bud pointing in thedirection the shoot is required to grow.The centre of the tree should be keptwell open to allow of the free access oflight and air. Sunshine favours theformation of blossoms and fruit, so thatthe pruning knife Should be so used asto let in its influence to every part ofthe tree.
THE SOWING OF SWEET PEAS.
The best way to raisesweets peas is a matterof the greatest impor-tance. If the seeds areplump and sound thereis no reason why lessthan 96 per cent shouldgerminate. The growermust remember that themethod he adopts inraising his seeds willmost probably make allthe difference betweensuccess and failure.What must be aimed atis a natural germination which will ulti-mately produce a sturdy, healthy plant,seeds sown in excessive heat will bedrawn and spindly, and one can neverexpect firet-cluAs results from them.Inere may be different times for sowingthe seeds. to keep up a succession ofbloom, but whatever the time, themethod of sowing should be the same.Everyone who is an enthusiast willnaturally obtain the newest and mostup-to-date varieties, and should adoptthe most up-to-dat© methods of raisingthe seedlings. Anyone who has * coldframe at his disposal will find it excel-lent for the purpose. Fill it to withinnine inches of the glass with cinder ashesto prevent worms working up from thesoil below. If the varieties to be sownare represented by only a few seedsof each, 4in pots are best for the pur-pose. But should there be severalpackets of each variety, small trays,about 18in long, Sin wide and 4in deepare the best receptacles. If pots areused they must be clean, otherwise whenturning ont the plants great damage willbe done to the roots. One piece of crockonly should be placed at the bottom,and the pot should then be filled withthe compost to within one inch of thetop. If boxes are used place a layer ofleaves over the bottom and fill it towithin one inch of the top and makelevel and firm. It is necessary to havegood loam, with plenty of coarse silversand well mixed with it, and the com-post should be moist, but not sticky.
Swm* Pmi rated la boxes and ready forpotting off.
How to Use the Cold Frame.
Many specialists advocate leaf mould,and although, it is a splendid materialfor sweet pea plants, it is not so goodfor sowing the seeds in. If there happensto bo a decaying seed a fungoid growthwill appear on it in a few days if leaf-soil is used. Roeellina hecatrix, or whiteroot rot, thrives on the organic matterprovided by leaf mould, quickly spreadsover the whole surface of the pot orbox, and in some cases kills the plantsoutright. If the lee.f mould were steri-lised it would then be free from fungusand be excellent material. The seedsshould be sown evenly over the surface,placing five or six seeds in each potand covered with half an inch of thecompost. Place in a cold frame aftersowing and water them. They shouldnot require any more water until theplants are up, which should be in about12 to 14 days. If the seeds do not ger-minate regularly they should beexamined, and it may be found thatthe outer skin of the seed has becomevery hard; if that is the case cut awaya bit of the covering or file it through,and the seed will then develop all right.As soon as the seedlings appear throughthe soil they must have plenty of air,and whenever it is fine pull the lightsoff by day and give eir at night. Frostwill not kill the young plants, but it isnot advisable to allow the soil to be-come frozen, so protect with a mat iffrost threatens. When the young plantsare about 4in high they should be turned
ont of the pot* or boxesand potted off singlyinto 3-inch pots. Thecost of so many pots maybe a consideration where alarge number are dealtwith, but there are nowseveral kinds of paper potsoffered which are very suit-able. The potting compostshould consist of two partsloam, one part leaf mould,and one part coarse sandwith a dash of soot. Whenlarge enough, put out intoa frame, and keep fairlyclose for a few days, thengradually give more air, andeventually pnll the lightsoff and harden, preparatory ito planting out. j
Sweet Peas put singly in paper pots.
SPRAY SHRUBS.
HOW TO DEAL WITH WHITESCALE.
When clearing the shrubberies andmaking them tidy for the winter, ex-amine every shrub, and where there areany signs of scale spray at once. Thereis a small white "scale" very active onceanothus, euonymus, olearia, holly,matipo, lilac and many other trees andshrubs. This pest is not new, but it ismore aggressive and does not appear todecrease in virulence. It is one of thosepests that is always with us, but jfdealt with at first sight never becomesvery serious. The spray to use is kero-sene emulsion or a white oil spray. Thislatter is a proprietary light oil spraythat can be used on evergreens and dur-ing summer, taking the place of theolder home-made kerosene emulsion.Although this latter is very effective itis often slovenly made and the result isnot so good as it should be, and thespray is blamed. White oil spray onlyneeds the addition of water, and if theproportions ore strictly observed is quitesafe.
LOGAN AND RASPBERRIES.
Any fairly good soil will grow rasp-berries, but an extra dry situation isnot favourable. There are many waysof planting; that most frequentlyadopted is to plant in a triangle, a footbetween each plant and four feetbetween each trmngle, with a full fivefeet between rows. The best plants aresmall suckers taken as far from theparent stool as they can be got; these arealways well rooted and start strongly.It is quits wrong to plant old eanes;they never do so well as the smallsuckers described. When planting isdone the tops should be cut down toabout six inches. The present top ofthe plant is of no use, except to keeplife in the roots while the basal budsare breaking; it is they that make thecanes. The winter treatment of estab-lished beds consists in cutting out thedead canes, also any in excess of thoserequired for fruiting; six eanes per stoolis the maximum number to keep. Thecanes retained should be shortened byabout one-fourth of their length. Sparesuckers should be forked out, as well asweeds with perennial roots. The lessthe roots are injured by cultivation thebetter; the roots are mostly in the topspit. Hoeing is preferable to digging;if digging is necessary use a fork, nota spade. A topdressing of stablemanure should be given if possible.Loganberries may be grown on wiretrellises, lathwork trellises, on summerhouses, fences or against a building.No other plant among the small fruitsis so productive as the loganberry; nogarden should be without at least aplant or two.
CORONATION CHELSEA.
Oheleea (Show, the greet annual land-mark of horticulture, has eoma andgone, and although here in New Zealand■we are too far away to be able to judgeexactly its size and magnificence, yetit certainly does in a small measureaffect horticulture here. The opinionwas that Coronation Chelsea was betterthan ever. Of the actual coat to theexhibitor there in no means of knowing,and one can only give a guess, aa mostfirms are very reticent aa to theirexpenses, etc., but, according to a tradejournal, one exhibitor said that hisexhibit cost £500 to stage, but that heexpected to do £2000 of business. Suchis the only line on which one fangauge what Chelsea means to horticul-ture and what horticulture means toj the Britisher. Visited by the King andQueen, Queen Mary, Princess Royal,King and Queen of Norway, Duke andDuchess of Gloucester, Duke andDuchesg of Kent, the attendance wassure. Rock gardens were more numer-ous, and were even better examplesthan of previous years. Ornamentalgardens both formal and informal, largebanks of flowering shrubs, includinglarge masses of .rhododendrons andazaleas, orchids, carnations, roses, lilies,tulips, bearded iris, border flowers, includ-ing masses of lupins, were all exhibitedin the finest condition of development.There were magnificent collectionsof vegetables and tomatoes, strawberrieswell fruited plants in pote arranged withbaskets of fruits between them. Fruittrees in pots, well grown and freelycropped, included peaches, nectarines,chcrries, plums, raspberries, and a pot-grown black mulberry 85 years' old. Oneexhibit included over 50 varieties ofapples, a masterly achievement in themonth of May, equal to November in NewZealand. Chelsea Show not only pointsout the advancement of science and artin horticulture, but is a reminder thatthe Britisher is still a lover of gardenand home, for without this ChelseaShow would cease to function.
SOILS.
As the chief garden work during thewinter consists in getting the soil in asuitable condition for the comingseason's crops, a few words on soil andmanures may not be out of place. Withsuitable condition and manuring any soilcan be made fruitful, and cultivationis more important than manure, for themechanical condition of the soil is moreimportant than its chemical composition,and for intense cultivation trenching anddeep digging are essential. A new-garden should be trenched in the firstinstance; this greatly assists all sub-sequent operations, and renders theafter-cultivation quite easy. The import-ance of stable manure cannot be over-estimated, and from stables where strawlitter is used is the most valuable. Itnot only provides all the chemical con-stituents necessary for the growth ofcrops, but it has an important mechanioal effect, opening up heavy clays ant'binding light soils, and in the procesof decay it exerts an important influencon the insoluble plant food in the eoi'rendering it soluble and availableManure, if not the chief gardener, is thfirst assistant, and though chemicalmanures are useful to supplement itwhere intense cultivation is carried out,as it has to be in small gardens, libera)dressings of stable manure give tho very)best results. ~ A

PERUVIAN LILY.
This is a giuup of tuberous rootedplants, the hardy member* of which arenatives of Peru and Chile. They needa light, deep, well-drained coil sad awarm, sunny position. The soil shouldhave a fair quantity of eoaree limerubble mixed vrith it; that it, old mor-tar broken up to about the aire ofpeanuts. The root 3 consist of a num-ber of email, swollen nodules hangingfrom a common root stock from whichare sent up above the ground flower-ing stems. Lifting and dividing theroots can be done just as the rootscommence to grow, but the less they aredisturbed the better, as it takes twoyears after planting before they becomewell established. They send up stemsabout two feet high, each carrying fouror five flowers. The lily-like blooms
are peculiarly marked with shades ofcrimson, orange, buff, yellow, green andmahogany. The best know 11 ere A.aurantiaca, orange, spotted carmine; A.chilensie, crimson orange and buff; A.lutea, yellow and carmine; A. pele-grina, purple and white; A psittaeina,crimson, green and mahogany.
ARBOR DAY.
August 11, 1937, ha« been set down asArbor Day, and the various publicbodies, etc, axe asked to observe it byplanting trees. Where the date does notagree with climatic or other local con-ditions a date dose handy can be sub-stituted. So much for that} bat have weforgotten that a few weeks ago we werecelebrating the Coronation of TheirMajesties King George ««» QueenElizabeth, and amongst the suggestionsfor commemorating the event was theplanting of trees, etc, which would bepermanent and of value in after yeanto those who came after as. Arbor Daythis year will actually be the day forthis planting to take place, and whereit can be done on the official day somuch the better, but if the planting isto be on the scale it should be, andevery family, if not every person, plant-ing a tree somewhere, then it will not bepossible to do the work on one day.
I The present is the time for plantingthis commemorative tree in your owngarden. Select some variety suitable tothe position, one that will not outgrowits place and will not become a nuisance.Planting during this next few weeksshould be an important part in theCoronation ceremonies, and if done aait should be will be more lasting thanthe flaga, bunting and electric lights ofMay 12. Remember this is "CoronationTree" planting time.
SEAKALE
| Crowns that are to be blanched wherethey are growing should have tbe blanch-ing material put on this month. Deadleaves make a good material for thepurpose, and can easily be kept in posi-tionby means of wire netting and stakes.Straw, or anything that will excludelight can be used, and should be put onat least twelve inches deep. Forcing canbe readily done in the permanent bed ifsome boxes are set over the crowns andsome fresh manure placed round theboxes. The proper way to cut the younggrowths for cooking is to remove a por-tion of the old stem vith them.

Gay Nomads of the Open RoadThe Carefree Gipsies and
Their Mysterious Originr B «tf*y Mug fa Poland died a few
weeks ago. Be was a noble manwhose beard whiffed of chicken fatand pine trees, and whose gnat shareof memorise ran on hone trading and
not infrequent eseapea from outragedfarmers. He was a great gipsy. Buteven though he was great, he will notbe mourned long by his heart-freepeople. No.
The gipsies are back on the toad intheir caravans and dilapidated auto-mobiles full of bundles tied In a&y ban-danas. In Europe, America, in Austra-lia, in Russia, in every part of the worldthey are doing the same thing. Butthe other day we heard they had held amass meeting to elect a new king, andthat James Zkweik, a wanderingtinkerof 52 years and a wife sad four chil-«kcted to the gipsythnme. The coronation which fol-\°£!r WM **£ 6184 crowning for1000 years.

They know and carenothing of their own forefathers. Theironly reply will be a recital of someancient legend: "In the beginning wewere all birds, we had wings, we flewhigh over trees and mountains to gatherour daily food. We left one region foranother when the season was about tochange.
-Almost nothing can be definitelyproved as to the gipsy heritage. Mostexperts agree, however, that before thetime of Alexander the Great the gipsieslived in India. One "word out of everythree in their language, Calo, is fonndto be of Indian (Sanskrit) origin. Aftertaking into account legend, racialappearance, customs and historicalrecords, as well as language, it seemsvirtually certain that the gipsies arethe same race as the Jats or Zotts whohail from the mouth of the Indm -inextreme Western India. When theHindu race, from which the present-dayhigher-caste Hindus (Brahmins, Ksha-triyas, Vaishyas) are descended, cameinto India at some long-ago period, theyfound there aborigines of brownish skin.Unable to entirely ignore yet anxiousto avoid any racial mixture with thesenatives, the proud invading Hindus setthe aborigines into a caste apart, estab-lishing unbreakable religious laws for-bidding any among their own numberever to touch one of these Sudras, asthey called them. Probably the gipsies'ancestors were among these earlySudras. "Mat" in Hindustani meansrobber, pirate, and abject creature, sug-gesting the despicable social station theJats or gipsies must have had amongthe conquering Hindus. It is no wonderthe modern gipsy is not inclined toremember his origin or reminisce about"the good old days."
How They Became "Gipsies."Alexander the Great, on Ma expedition
to South-Eastern Persia, probablybrought bade large numbers of gipsies,
�ho must have made valuable slavesbecause of their knowledge of workingiron, a new and rare art in those times.Hie fact that gipsies all over the worldto-day count in Greek and use numerousGreek words further substantiates thetheory of their early arrival in theBalkan region. For "seven, eight, nine,ten" gipsies say "efta, oft©, enea, deca."In Macedonia at this period also werenumerous Phoenician and Egyptianslaves who worked in Alexander'sarsenals. Undoubtedly the gipsies inter-married to some extent with the Egyp-tians, and when their descendants laterset forth on their wanderings, still try-ing to forget their miserable days inIndia, they told people that they werefrom Egypt. Their tendency towardsleight-of-hand, fortune telling, andothermagic which Europeans associated withEgypt undoubtedly gave them theirmost usual name of gipsies. Pharons(from Pharaohs) is another of theirappellations. Their association withRumanians probably accounts for thenames Rom and Romany, so frequentlyapplied to them. Other names forgipsies are Gitanos, Zingaries, Calos,Bohemians, Tziganes, Zigeuner, Czigany.
Why They Live In Tents.Just why the gipsies live in tents
and never settle down is a questionfor a gipsy himself to answer. But henever could say it in words. A shrug,a laugh—"Why not?"—is the best hewill ever do. Perhaps his innate needfor absolute freedom—freedom to thepoint of eliminating all the law and
order and responsibility attendant tocivilisation—comes from liif» inheritedremembrance of the torture ho sufferedas an "untouchable" in India. There isno doubt of his horror of restriction.The old boyars of Rumania used to freetheir gipsy slaves, allowing one memberof each family to go away at a time,holding the rest to ensure Ids return. Ifthe masters, neglected thus occasionallyto let the gipsies 100 ie, the latter pre-sently would develop consumption ortuberculosis and die. Prince Ouzel, thefirst ruler of united Moldavia and Wal-lachia, ruled that three months in gaolfor a gipsy was equivalent to five yeanfor another man. Cuza- understood thegipsies well, being part gipsy himself.
"Life, Liberty and Happiness."All gipsy customs reveal their great
horror of obligation or establishment ofany kind. When gipsies take a marriagevow they do not promise to love till"death do us part." Shuddering at sucha ball and ch&in idea, the dusky brideand bridegroom promise only "to sepa-rate the moment love ceases.*
Gipsies are the world's greatest ruggedindividuals. They do not get "civilised"because they consider their »wn wayssuperior. There are probably only amillion of them on earth, scattered hereand there, with no officdal home ornationality, and they are generallytreated with disregard. But their pridecan never be humbled. The ground undertheir feet—which is the whole world—they claim for theirs. They are the trueadherents of "life, liberty and the pur-suit of happiness."The ptmemte of he gifinet at Epsom it a familiar feature of Derby Week.

Yonng Resemble Mother.Often the adult male and female differ
in colour, and when this is the ease theyoung usually resemble the mother, asin birds. Several theories have beenWugkt forth to explain this. Darwinpointed out there is an excess of males
OFFSPRING SHOW COLOURING OF ANCESTORS. * Nature, that the female had quitea choice at mating tune, picked thebrightest coloured male and these quali-ties were thns accentuated in succes-sive generations.
Recently a famous English physicianand naturalist, Major R. W. G.Hingston, suggested that -war ratherthan love explained the male's flashyattire.
His theory 4s that fundamentally ananimal's colour is protective, a conceal-ing colour, one which will make himfade into his background. But super-imposed on this is a system of "threaten-ing colouration," which makes him con-spicuous but more terrifying to hisenemies. And since the male is usu-ally the fighter of the species, heis the one to sport the war paint. Theblack mane of the lion, which is notso noticeable as he lies at ease, bristlesout conspicuously when he's mad. Healso waves his tail over hie back, show-ing its black tip. The hackles of therooster, the crests of many birds, areother threatening weapons, employed inwhat Major Hingston calls "psycho-logical fighting." He notes that muchbird fighting is largely a ruffling offeathers anyway.

But the resourceful author of tin"Juet So Stories" did not explain th<■pots on the lion oub, whoae parentluiva flawless complexions, or bow <

Preveksd Math Argument.TWs being the aumqr season at th«
zoo, the question of why offspring scoften donX maitch their oldens is monor leas timely. -■Tbm is olcbut it's still open, because scientist!have never agreed completely on thianswer. The whole subject of animalcolouration, in fact, has been provoca-tive of a lot of scientific argument.
More than * generation ago someonesuggested the young lions were wottedbo their parents could find them in thedark (lions live in dismal dens, youremember). But that theory is a littlehard for modern students to accept.There are a lot of spots in the animalkingdom it wouldn't cover, end, if yeware going in for theories, you'd bestpick the one which leaves the fewestcases unaccounted for.
Dr. Witmer Stone, vice-president otthe Academy of Natural Science®, andfamous authority on birde which exhibitthis colour peculiarity to a great degree,says the most generally accepted theoryis that the young exhibit the. colouringof their remote ancestors. This wouldbe another expression of the well-knownbiological principle that • "«s*°B«®yrecapitulates phytogeny" Mfe his-tory of the individual recapitulates theevolution of the race).

A German scientist, Dr. G. H. TheodorEimer, who contributed much to thistheory of animal coloration, believedthat in the carniverous animals, andprobably in all others, the first fashionwas longitudinal stripes (running length-wife «f the body, as in the young wildpigs). The stripes, through evolution,broke up into spots, and the spots laterunited to form bars or stripes runningthe other way, as in the tiger. Finally,a uniform colour became the style, hecontended.
Jut a Mem of Speckles.Whether they are out of style or not,
roots and speckles certainly aren't verydistinctive. Many species of birds,points ont Dr. Stone, are hardly distin-
, guiahable when they are young, because•11 have the same mottled baby plum-age. This is an indication,he adds, thatthe eommon ancestor of these relatedspecies are speckled, the present-daycolours being later specialisations. Thusthe bird world of a few hundred milleniaago wasn't such a bright and gay placeas it is to-day, what with being just amess of speckles.
This same thing applies to related! species of other animals. Roger Conant,of the soo scientific staff,points out that
Major Hingßton suggests, and withsome anatomical evidence as the basis,that our ancestors could make their hairstand on end at will, not in fear butto frighten their enemies. The modernbearskin shako of the King's Guard, thecreeto of the Roman military helmets,the feathered' headgear of the Indianwarriors, are all, !he believes, "attemptsor symbols of the attempt to simulatethat erectile lighting crest so essential,for battle in our remote ancestors."
As for the beard, he thinks that, too,was furnished men to terrify his foesand not to charm his women. He nolonger needs it as a military accessory.And mam, though he no longer doesmuch personal fighting, still likee to lookhis best before the ladies. And if abeard helped him there, why, asks theMajor, does Ihe usually shave it off?—N.A2TA.

When Will TheEarth Die?
M. Camilla Plammarion, the eminentastronomer, says that in all probability,notwithstanding all the circumstanceswhich threaten it, the earth will suffernot an accidental but a natural death.The death will be the consequence ofthe extinction of the sun in 20,000,000years or more—perhaps 30,000,000. Ata relatively moderate rate its condensa-tion will give it on one hand 17,000,000years of existence, while, on the otherhand, the inevitable fall of meteorsinto the sun may double the number.
Even if you suppose the duration ofthe sun to be prolonged to 40,000,000years, it is still incontestable that theradiation from the sun cools it, andthat the temperature of all the bodiestends to an equilibrium. Then the earthand all the other planets of our systemwill cease to be the abode of life. Theywill be erased from the great book, aadwill revolve, blaclc cemeteries, around anextinguished sun.
Will the planets continue to existeven then? Probably they will in thecase of Jupiter and, perhaps, Saturn.No, beyond a doubt, for the small bodiessuch as earth, Venus, Mars, Mercuryand the moon. Already the moonappears to have preceded us towards thefinal desert. Mars is much furtheradvanced than the earth to the tamedestiny. Venus, younger than us, willdoubtless survive us. These littleworlds lose their elements of vitalitymuch faster than the sun loses its heat.Prom century to century, from yearto year, from day to day, from hour tohour, the surface of the earth is trans-formed. On the one hand, the conti-nents are crumbling away and becomingcovered by the sea, which, insensiblyand by slow degrees, tends to invadeand submerge the entire globe; on theother hand, the amount of water on theglobe is diminishing. A careful andreasonable calculation shows that bythe »**ion of erosure alone all the landon our planet will be covered by waterin 10,000,000 years. \

Gracie's Debut On The FilmsA TRIUMPHAL TOUR OF
SOUTH AFRICA.
Last week Gracie Fields, famedscreen and music hall star, toldof her early days in the showbusiness and of her experiencesin America. We now present thesecond instalment of her fascina-
ting life story.
(By GRACIE FIELDS.)
BACK in London once again, I lostno time in getting work. A pro-vincial tour had been arranged dur-
ing my absence, and I started off withina few days of my landing. As alwaysI was in the best of spirits now thatI knew each week would find me in adifferent town. Again I was living alife on wheels—and it was enough tomake me supremely happy.
By this time British-made films werebeginning to attract interest. Myself,I had never been an enthusiastic cinema-goer. My life had been the stage. Filmsmeant, little to me.
My sister, however, is mad aboutfilms. I remember how I used to laughat her when she raved over the Holly-wood stars. She knew every one ofthem—at any rate, she knew everythingthat had ever been printed about them.I couldn't understand anybody's beingso keen about photographs!
And,-odd as it may sound, that is theway films struck me. It made no differ-ence to me whether the photographs
talked. They were stillnot living people.
You can imagine, then, how surprisedI was when Bert Aza, my manager,came to me one day and told me that afilm company wanted me to act beforethe camera. It seemed that they werebent on making a screen version of"Sally."
Frankly, I had no wish to go on thefilms. . I knew nothing whatever aboutthe work, but I did know it meant—staying put! That alone was enough tomake it unattractive to me. Also there'dbe no audience to play to—and anaudience always gives me ten times asmuch fun as I ever give the audience.I mean it literally.
Films—And Then South Africa.But there it was. It was a firm offer
—and a tremendous lot of money forme, if I'd take it.
"Tell you what you do, Bert," I said."Just you shove up the price a bit, andthey won't want me. And that'll bethat."
So Bert, with his powers of persuasion,did shove up the price—and the filmcompany still wanted me. Naturally Icouldn't say no then. I hadn't a legto stand on. So on to the films I went.
All told I put in five years a-film-making. With each new film my facebecame known to more tens of thou-sands of people. This meant the endof my being able to wander about thestreets—unrecognised. And I so dearlyloved prowling about in side-streets andback alleys. It was a dreadful priva-tion, I can tell you.
Not until I realised that every timeI showed myself a crowd gatheredaround me was I aware of the fact thatnow I was a film star. Somehow, evenso, I couldn't believe it. Doing my stuffin a film studio before a camera seemsso—well, unimportant. For people toget enthusiastic over your photographsstruck me as odd.
After tile long siege of remaining inone place had become unbearable Ilooked about for an excuse to go places.The result of a family consultation—and all of my moves are preceded by
such conferences—was that I shouldundertake a tour of South Africa. Itseemed that my gramophone records hada big eale in that part of the world, andmy films had done well there.
Even so, it was a gamble. And it wasby no means a little gamble. For wegathered together eight high-class actsto appear on the bill with me—eighteenpeople in all. However my adviserswere satisfied the tour would pan outsuccessfully.
What a Welcome!Until I got aboard the ship that was
to take us to Capetown I didn't realisehow fagged out I was. That film-mak-ing had really exhausted me. All Iwanted to do was to stay in bed for theduration of the voyage. I hadn't sup-posed anyone could be so completelytired out as I was.
In point <jf fact I did stay in bedtwenty-four hours a day, every day,except one. That was when we stoppedat Madeira. Here was at new place-new people to see, and rub shoulderswith. Of course, I had to get up forthat.
They tell me I "did" Madeira inrecord-breaking time. Within a fewhours I poked about in every nook andcranny in the place. It was good fun,and I quite forgot that I was still wornout and in need of lots more rest.
But back aboard ship again I didrealise it, and for the remainder of thevoyage stayed tucked up in my berth.
The day of our arrival at Capetownfound me up and on deck at dawn. Iwas more excited than I'd ever been inmy life. I fairly revelled in the thoughtof the delights to come. And certainlya more inspiring sight than was dis-closed as we approached this tip-end ofthe African continent could not beimagined. It was glorious.
But when we neared the quay I wasamazed to see that it was packed tooverflowing with a solid mass of people.Even the streets leading away from thewaterfront were jammed with crowds.I couldn't imagine what all the excite-ment was about. It never occurred tome that it had anj'thing whatever to dowith me.
Even when they began throwingstreamers and confetti, I still failed tograsp the significance of the demon-stration. Vaguely I remembered having
seen newsreels showing how theHawaiians always welcome and bid adieuto incoming and outgoing liners—andtook it for granted this vast assemblageof cheering people was a regular hap-pening.
When the time came for us to dis-embark, however, realisation that thesetens of thousands of confetti-throwerswere there to welcome me dawned onme. There couldn't very well be anydoubt about it when—following theveritable downpour of confetti andstreamers—the women in the crowdbegan throwing bouquets at me.
One of these bouquets hit me smackin the face—and hurt—but I kept onsmiling, you can be sure. *
When finally the police made a lanefor us through the crowd, and we man-aged to get into the waiting car, therebegan a regular triumphal processionthrough the main streets of Capetown.From windows all along the routestreamers came pouring down on us.The densely packed throngs on the pave-ments showered us with confetti—andmore hurled bouquets. Oh, it was won-derful.
"I Was All Of a Dither."Of course I wa« desperately nervous
the opening night. I was so anxiousto make good Capetown's advanceopinion of me that I was all of a ditherhours before the curtain went up. Theresult was nearly disastrous. Or atleast it seemed so at the time. 'For,frankly, I was not in my beet formthat first night. And nobody knew itbetter than I did. I wa« such a bundleof nerves I simply couldn't let myselfgo-
The next day the newspapers—mean-ing to be kind to me—blamed theorchestra for my failure to register thehit everybody had expected I'd make.•Sorry as I felt for myself and the #estof the troupe—this unfair criticism ofthe orchestra made me see red. Atwhatever cost to the tour, I wasn't goingto let the charges go unanswered.
So I issued a statement that all thenewspapers printed the following day.I said the orchestra had done its partperfectly—and that the fault waii en-tirely my own. By way of proving it, Iissued an invitation to the critics tocome back, and see for themselves. And,
bless their hearts, they did come back.And, having got • myself in hand, wenton and made them like me.
At the end of the Capetown engage-ment I received tfie loveliest presentthat anyone ever gave me. They tellme nobody else—since show business,began—ever had such a tribute paidthem. That orchestra—by, way. of ex-pressing their appreciation for my hav-ing stood up for them—-banded togetherand out of their salaries had collectedenough money to buy a plaque of silveron which was inscribed, "To our Gracie,from the orchestra."
Nothing ever touched me more deeplythan that gift. But, for that matter,every minute of my. stay in Capetown—and throughout the entire journey—wasan unending succession of similar touch-ing incidents.
Johannesburg was. the second town onthe tour. Once again we were "onwheels"—the grand old thrill of beingon my way to a new place, to appearbefore new audiences, to mingle with,new people, filling me with joy. Butin my wildest imaginings I had notfaintly visualised wliat this railwayjourney was actually to be.
Held Up Trains!We weren't numerous enough to rate
a special tra;n, so we took the regularJohannesburg train which, of course,was operated on a schedule that calledfor its arriving and departing at andfrom the stations along the way at agiven time. But it speedily becameapparent that ordinary rules were beingsuspended on this trip.
At the first stop, to my astonishment,I discovered .the station platformjammed tight with a crowd of peopleshouting at the top of their lungs for"Our Gracie." When I popped my headout of the carriage window and wavedat them they cheered themselves hoarse.Then they began shouting for a song.
It was grand. While the train waitedI sang to them. It was absolutelyamazing to me—the way they knewevery one of my numbers. And therewas no doubt about that, for theynamed them as they shouted for more.
At every stop the same thing hap-pened. In the crowds were scores ofnorth country folk, those of them nearenough to me for me to make out whatthey were saying, talking the oldfamiliar Lancashire dialect that mademe want to throw my arms aroundthem. As it happened so many timesin Capetown it was all I could do to keepfrom breaking down and having a goodold-fashioned fit of crying.
Our reception at Johannesburg wasevery bit as enthusiastic as Capetown'swelcome.
The chief difference between ourexperience in Johannesburg and Cape-town was that in Johannesburg weseemed to have more time to get aboutand go places and do things. Mind you,we worked as hard in the theatre—thefinal curtain never being rung down untilwell past midnight—but the show hadsettled down, and we were all of usunder less of a strain than we had beenin our first stand.
I wouldn't for a moment have you getthe impression that the "Joburgere"were more hospitable than the Cape-town folk had been. Nobody couldhave been bigger-hearted than thoseCapetown audience*. It was simplythat now we were able to take advan-tage of the many invitations that camepouring in on u«.

WHY "BREWSTER"?
"Breweter Sessions," for consideringlicensing questions, bear in their name areminiscence of the days when womenwere more prominent than men in brew-ing and selling beer; "brewster" wasthe feminine form of "brewer." Untilthe sixteenth century the "trade" waslargely in the hands of women. Inmany of the old morality plays the alte-wife was shown being thrust into hellfor watering her liquor or supplyingshort measure.

Vaporised Perfumes.Yet a renaissance of one of the
world's oldest and most negiected formsof art, invoking aid of the least used ofthe five tenses, would appear to be inthe making. It is the art of "interiorperfuming"—an art that flourished inthe days of the ancient Persiai*. Greeksand Romans as an essential part of theluxury and grandeur of those earlycivilisations.
Imagine enterirtsj the home of anaesthetic hostess to bear a lecture aboutan ancient Oriental philosophy by anEast Indian sav&iit. and finding theplace seductively redolent with thesoothing and suggestive fragrance ofsandalwood.
Fancy losing yourself in the dark-ness of a cinema to view a picturedepicting life "away down South inDixie." and having the illusion orSouthern moonlit nisrhts heightened bythe scent of orange bkussoms or flower-ing magnolias.
Or perhaps to stand before a group oflandscapes in a city salon and inhale—as you dream—the characteristicaroma of peat on Scottish downs, orbabrsin along the trail of the lonesomepine, or heavy-hanging clematis on tietrellises of home, sweet home.
Such sensory pleasure* and excita-tions shortly may be realised on anextensive scale as modern architectsapply more universally the principlesof air-conditioning, and modern •"cliff-dwellers" avail themselves of the latentachievements of modern chemical re-search in the field of perfumery per-fection.
Theatres, beauty shops, departmentstores, office buildings, schools andhomes—all of them now have at theirdisposal the most alluring scent* thatmay be disseminated by the simpleprocess of vaporising perfumes withinthe mechanical recesses of oir-coudrtion-

I'ntil science wrested ihe secrets ofperfumery from Nature, the processesof such extraction and manufacturewere onerous and costly.

The Aladdin Lamp of Science,
i But now—all is changed. What wasonce co?tly and laboriously achieved ismade available for consumption moreeasiiy and at minimum cost in chemicallaboratories. The most signal achieve-ment of recent time has been the deve-lopment of synthetic musk; important,indeed, for the reason that nmsk is themost important single material used inthe making of perfumery.
So artfully has the Aladdin of thetwentieth century workshop wielded hismagical lamp of science that the syn-thetic mn>k, in chemical construction,cannot be distinguished from thenatural musk.
Once upon a time—and not so longago—there were less than 200 knownkinds of perfume. They existed in theform of natural products.
To-day there are available to perfumeconnoisseurs more than s thousanddifferent scents—and chemists tell usthat the business of compounding newand delectable dainties is only in itsinfancy.
Like the notes of the musical scale,or the pigments that an artist mixes onhU palette, the ingredients for new andsynthetic perfumes may be blended atwill. The phrase, "a perfume to matchyour personality" is not merely a catch
ing systems.The Early Scents. '
To-day only the people of the East, bv |mass inclination, cling to the incen»e>of their ancestors. In our Occidental ,civilisations only the churches continue ;the arts of "interior perfuming. lor
these arts were old when the world wasvoung. ,
Thev probablv had their beginningswith the Atlantians. inhabitants of the jlegendary "lost continent" said to havebeen engulfed by the waters of the seaafter severe earthquakes more than20,000 years before the Christian era.An Egyptian priest first told t<oloii ofthe existence of Atlantic "somewhere offthe Pillars of Hercules." ,
Whatever their origin, the first usesof perfumes were associated with carl}religious rites. The word perfume (ptr,meaning "through" and fumum smoke )
leads to the assumption that aromatic®were created by burning fragrant woodsand resins, probably upon altars forreligious worship. Sacred script recordshow, at the dawn of the Christian era,wise men from the East came seekingthe Babe of Bethlehem "with gifts ofgold, frankincense and myrrh."
Egyptians are accredited the firstpeople to turn the arts of "interior per-fuming" into the wiles of "interior deco-rating." Saffron and lotus flowers werescattered on the floors at their banquets,wine cups were adorned with fragrantplants, and aromatic substances wereburned in huge urns. !
At the feast of Belsliazzar. when the |
ominous handwriting appeared upon the (wall, the same practices were in vogue.The Jews, borrowing customs from the'Egyptians, carried aromatics in theirclothing and scented their living quar-ters.
Perfume-loving Civilisations.Other civilisations followed suit. Per-
sian monarclis sat amid sweet-scentedregality. It is related that when Alex-ander the Great conquered Darius heheld in sneering contempt the odorifer-ous orgies of Persian court life, but nosooner had he returned to liis own im-perial palace than he relented to theextent of having his own floors sprinkleddaily with choice aromatics.
The ancient Greeks indulged morelavishly the arts of perfumery. Onechronicler of their time tells of doves,their wings saturated with pleasurablescents, being released over the heads ofbanqueters. Yet it remained for theRomans to eclipse all of their predeces-sors. Their use of aromatics in thetriclinium, or dining room-, is revealedin many old writings. No banquet,!,whether the repast of a Nero or the (
epicurean gluttonies of the famedLucullus, was complete without aroma- jI .ties- j
j The perfumes of those early civilisa-tions were costly. The ingredients foranimal extracts had to be brought fromremote distances at great expense; theoils had to be distilled from plant li feafter prolonged and tedious toil, 1
slogan.A new art is in the making—an art
that may well outrival the lavishextravaganzas of the ancients—and itseems reasonably certain that new"symphonies of scent." shortly to bearrived at. will revive the most sensi-tive as well as the most neglected of oursensory capacities.—Charles W. Duke, inthe New York "Herald Tribune."

"They are fatalistic to the core," hesaid. ""The fatalistic strain is a decidedMongol trait. lam reminded of a storywhich is. perhaps, the best example ofhow really fatalistic they are. It hap-pened a little north of King WilliamIsland. There was in the tribe a leadernamed An-ow-ya, leader because in alltile district he was the mightiest hunter.He had a brother whom Americans wouldterm 'a bad egg.' His name was Duk-kik. Duk-kik had a very bad temperand although they were never able to'pin the goods on him,' it was prettygenerally conceded that he was a killer.More than one hunting party hadreturned with a member missing," Duk-kik, in a fit of temper, had taken himfor a ride.' Now the rest, of the tribebecame a little annoyed with this, to saynothing of being considerably frightened.They appealed to the leader to put astop to his brother's high-handed methodof doing away with those who infuri-ated him. ludeed. they impressed upon
! An-ow-va that unless he himself killedDuk-kik there might be a new leaderat the head of the tribe. An-ow-ya pon-dered over this for a long time, and fin-ally called his brother to him. 'You aremy brother and I lovfe you very much,'he said, "but you havetbecome*angeredand killed many of our tribes and"nowyou in your turn must hfe Trilled. How-do you wish to die?' Duk-kik consideredthe question, and being unable to decide,asked whether he might think it over.!He was given 12 hours. In that timehe did not contemplate escape. Hemerely wished to satisfy himself con-cerning the best method" of dying. Atthe end of 12 hours he returned toAn-ow-ya and asked, cWhat method ofIkilling me have you considered?' An-ow-
,ya answered; 'You will be stabbed,; choked or shot. Or perhaps it would be| your desire that we remove your cloth-ing and drivo you from the village.'
; Duk-kik elected to be shot. WhereuponAn-ow-ya went to his snow house and
I fetched a shotgun.. He placed the muzzlelof it at Duk-kik's stomach, but thisposition did not suit the bad-temperedbrother and he calmly moved the gun toa point directly over his heart. ThenAn-ow-ya pulled the trigger."—From"Alone Across the Top of the World,"

HOW WE GET OUR TEETH.
An eminent dentist is authority forthis explanation:—»
It would take too long to describethe formation of the teeth, but it mayinterest you to know that the enamelis derived in the first place from theepithelium, or scarf skin, and is, in fact,modified skin, while the dentine, of whichthe bulk of the teeth is composed, isderived from the mucous layer belowthe epithelium. Lime salts are slowlydeposited, and the tooth pulp or nerveis the last remains of what was once apulpy mass of the shape of the futuretooth, and even the tooth pulps in theold people sometimes gets quite oblite-rated by calcereous deposits. The 32permanent teeth are preceded by 20temporary d-eciduous or milk teeth.These are fully erupted at about two ortwo and a half years old, and at aboutsix years of age a wonderful process ofabsorption sets in by which the rootsof the temporary teeth are removed tomake room for the advancing permanentones. The crowns of the former, havingno support, become loose and fall away.One would naturally suppose that theadvancing permanent tooth was apowerful factor in the absorption ofits temporary predecessor, but we havemany facts to prove that it has noinfluence whatever; indeed, the interest-ing phenomena of the eruption and suc-cession of the teeth are very little under-stood. I may remark, in passing, thata child of six who has not yet lost anytemporary teeth has in its jaws, eithererupted or non-erupted, no fewer than52 teeth more or less formed.
SHORT STORY
The Old School Tie.Anybody would think i ought to
have been happy the week I knewabout my scholarship; well, any-
body would have been wrong.Everything went against me from the
minute the headmaster read out, "Potts,George Henry, top of the list," to thetime I slunk back home without themoney for the washing I had delivered.How could I help it if "Mother will sendit up" was all I got for my politepresentation of the bill?
The announcement of successes wasmade on Monday; it only needed myteacher to say, "Potts, I hope yourparents will decide on the 'County' foryou; there's no obstacle now, as far asI can see, between you and the Univer-sity," to make me conscious of a patchon my trousers and the loose sole on myleft boot.
My photograph in the "EveningGuard" only brought Aunt Lizzie onWednesday, and an avalanche of offers■to fit me out for every possible occasion—including sports .with every knowntype of blazer, tie and socks; every
make of shoes, as well as every varietyof tennis rackets, balls, cricket bats,hockey sticks, pads and bicycles.
Insurance prospectuses guaranteed myfees at college for a modest sum perweek; moneylender*' brochures—moreboldly—offered to lend my parents from£5 to £100 on note of hand.
Then Aunt Lizzie pursed up her thinmouth and shook her head—somehowAunt Lizzie can make one see the wash-ing on the rack and draw attention tothe hole in the hearthrug quicker thananyone I know. "I reckon, Saily, asit'll about ruin yer ter buy gentlemanGeorgie 'is boots, let alone th' rest."
My mother said—somewhat shortly—that I was to have a bursary.
"Much good that'll be: it'll cost a mintuv money ter keep 'im a thisuns." Sheput a skinny finger on a highly-colouredillustration of a boy in white flannelscarrying a tennis racket and surroundedby all the "necessities" of school life.
My father—out of work—with tearsin his eyes, said, "I shanna stand inyer road, me lad," but he went off withhis "dole" on Friday, forgetting to comeback with the change—he was so pleasedwith my success, he afterwards said.
I was just going to bed wishing Ihad never heard of such things asscholarships, and my ears ringing withthe bitter words, "If ye'd 'ad a bitmore gumption an' less brains, we'd'av' 'ad sixpen'orth uv chips an' a fishapiece fer supper," when in walkedUncle George.
He sang out "Congratcherlations,young George 'Enery," so cheerfullythat all the warmth of success returnedand made me forget my troubles. "It's'istory repeatin' itsen, except that ye'vegotten a father wat is prepared ter standby yer an' mine tuk' me straight offfrom school the very day 'e knowed I'dwon me scholarship—ter keep me out uvfurther mischief, 'e said."
My mother opened her mouth butclosed it without speaking; it wasevident that Uncle George was buryingthe hatchet for a short time and mak-ing himself agreeable to Henry Potts.
My father smiled approvingly whenhis sacrifice was thus alluded to andbegged Uncle George to "draw up"while my mother whispered to me torun for half a dozen faggots from thebutcher's and pretend to forget shealways paid him over the counter.
Uncle George was well on with thepreliminaries of his story when I putthe basin down triumphantly on thetable. "I was as inadas never was,our Sally, ter find as That there softspoken feller 'ad gone off wi' me newtie an' left me 'is owd un. I washedit i' th' brook, but it 'ad a great blotuv ink just where- it showed most, nomatter 'ow I tied it.

STRANGE BANQUETS.TREACHERIES RECALLED.
iFAMOUS TRAGIC FEASTS.
ITHE BLACK BULL'S HEAD.
The Dean of St. Patrick's has immor-talised an Irish festival of the 18th cen-tury by declaring that.—O'Rourke'e noble feast will ne'er be
forgotBy those who were there—or those who
were not.Some such memory will long cling to
many a family or historic banquet which—like the tragic one depicted in "Mac-beth," where the ghost of the murderedBanquo makes its uncanny appearance,or that remarkable feast described byLord Lytton where Zandin drinks withimpunity the poisoned cup, remarkingto the Prince, "I pledge you even inthis wine"—has been the scene of someunusual or extraordinary occurrence.
A curious tale is told of BulgadenHall, once the most magnificent seat inthe south of Ireland. George Evans,the youthful master of this property,fell in love with the beautiful daughterof his host, Colonel Stamer. At thatperiod the early wedding banquet wasdevoted to wine and feasting, and themarriage did not take place till theevening. According to custom, sobriety
at these bridal feasts was, we are told,"a positive violation of all good breed-in?- The guests would have thoughtthemselves highly dishonoured had thebridegroom escaped scatheless from thewedding banquet." Accordingly, half-unconscious of passing events, GeorgeEvans was led to the altar. As soonas he had recovered from the effects ofthe bridal feast he discovered, to hisdismay, that his bride was not thewoman of his choice—that he was thevictim of a cheat. Indignant at theimposture, lie ascertained that the plotemanated from the woman who till thenhad been the idol of his soul, and thatshe had substituted her veiled sisterAnne at the altar. The young bride-groom left his home and country, neverto meet again the woman who had sowronged him.
The Castelian de Coney forms thesubject of one of Uhland's most remark-able poems. The tale runs that theyoung De Coney fell madly in love, atfirst sight, with the fair lady of Fayal,who treated him with indifference andscorn. Finding that—
No hope had he to win the heartOf her who heeded not his sighing!he leaves his home. Having joined "inmany a hot affray," he is at last mor-tally wounded, telling his page as heexpires:—When this fond heart has ceased its beating
To the fair lady of PayalBear it, with De Coney's greeting.Her jealous husband, thinking that hiswife had been false, has the heartdaintily cooked, and served upon agolden dish in their banquet hall. Assoon as the gruesome secret is revealedto her, she passionately declares that solong as the young De Coney had livedshe had scorned him, but after thewrong and insult she had received, "shewould never more in this world partakeof earthly nourishment."
A terrible banquet was that to whichthe Earl of Douglas was invited by SirAlexander Livingstone and the Chancel-lor Crichton—who dissembled their in-tentions—to sup at the Royal table inthe Castle of Edinburgh. The Earl wasfoolhardy enough to accept the ill-fatedinvitation. Shortly after he had takenhis place at the festive board the headof a black bull—the certain omen, inthose days in Scotland, of immediatedeath—was placed on the table. TheEarl sprang to his feet anticipatingtreachery and aimed to escape; butwith his younger brother he was hurriedinto the courtyard of the castle andbeheaded.

ALISON THAYER, pretty red-headed nurse]out of a job, is appointed an airplanestewardess on Continental Air Lines,because the prevented
JOHN ROERDEN, president of the lines,from shooting
LABKY WESTON, New York playboy, whenshe inadvertently tells Roerden flowersand an expensive piece of jewellery havebeeu sent to his wife from the flower shopwhere Alison is working. The girl pre-vents Koerden from shooting Weston, but«he loses her job. Weston promises toget her another, but he fails her, forgetsall about the girl whom he got into suchtrouble. Roerden does remember and getsAlison the airline appointment. She goesto the airline school meets
STEVE BRODERICK, hears the fascinatinggossip about
TERRY CREEDON, Continentals crackpilot. The night she is notified of herappointment she reads that Adele Roer-den is in Reno to get & divorce fromRoerden.
CHAPTER IV.Alison Thayer hitched up lier Sam
Brown belt, settled her little cap morefirmly on her red head, put a dab ofpowder on her nose and left the airportrest room.
Chicago. She walked briskly out intothe great air terminal. All summerAlison had been making the run fromNew York to Chicago and still she couldnot believe it was true. She walked out-doors into the September sunshine andlooked toward the great smoky city tothe north. Just this morning she'd leftNewark airport as the sun rose. Nowat noon she'd had lunch in Chicago.There was an unreality about her life.She, who had neyer been out of NewYork before, now knew the Allegheniesin all their summer glory. She knewhow the sunrise looked on the Hudson.
Just what the sunshine did to mountainlakes. She had learned so much thatsometimes she felt she could not standit to learn much more, not in such bighunks.
She waa also learning about humannature. She knew instinctively nowwhich passenger -would try to hold herhand and which woman would get air-sick. She was learning how to controlobstreperous passengers who carried abottle in their briefcase. And she couldsmile pleasantly at the pretty womenwho partonised her and demanded everykind of personal attention.
For Sonny loved her job! Alison hadbecome "Sonny" to "the gang" imme-diately. As Steve had said, the name,was a "natural." J
Sonny Hears About a "Binge."As she stood there on the concrete
apron thinking of a million things, JimBarnes, pilot of the great two-motoredship which had brought her West thatmorning, came up.
"Glad I wasn't in town last nights"jhe remarked. Short, stocky, Jim had?been flying since the war. He had a'series of scar* on his face from the oldcrates he had flown barnstorming pbontTexas and California. But his eves, finspite of his 40 years, were bright amdsharp as a youngster's. , , I
"Terry Creedon and Steve Brodecick.were in town. Brought m that new qhipfrom the coast. It was a great party,according to the boys." He hishead. -v, _ ■ /
"Steve Broderickt I know Steve*""Well, Terry's poison to me. Herf can
get me into more trouble than any iotherguy I know.. Once we were stufck inOmaha four days by weather awl wetook the; town apart. We gotarrested and almost lost our jobs*!" Jimlaughed at the memories. "Terry*rodea horse, right into the hotel' lobby.Funny thing we never found oufo wherehe got it. It belonged to a peddler, butTerry couldn't remember where he foundit. What a binge!" f
It was always this way. Alifion shookI her head. Stories seemed to evolve aboutTerry Creedon. Whenever hei made anairport the field was left talking for
| days. "How does he keep hisf jobT""He's a sweet pilot, Sonny. You
know, some of these boys Jvaven't gotthe old moxie. But I'd flyanywhere withTerry. And that's saying something forme. He's a natural, drunk ob? sober, andhe's always sober the next morning bysome strange chance. He wajj born witha rabbit's foot in his hand." r
Jim went off to check the air-port manager. They back in'New York at 8 p.m.
Alison loved this run. It meant shehad dinner every night' Witfh her .mother.She'd be in the apartmerat. by 7.30 easilyunless they were hekk of badweather. The reports, weren't any toogood.
An Intpoitaat Passenger.The girl was busy flotr the next half
hour checking supplkss, arranging fortea and coffee 'for the Ireturn trip. Therewas -mucih to be done* She glanced ather trim, business-like watch. Only 15minutes until take-off time. The shipwas scheduled to be mlniost filled- Justthen she heard hcrs' if being paged overthe loudspeaker system. She reportedto the Coi. nental foffices immediately.
Westgate, the Chicago office manager,motioned her into his office. "MissThayer, we're having Mrs. Roerdenaboard this "trip," he said abruptly.Alison stood still as he spoke.
"I want you to give her evecy per-sonal attention. We just had 'a wirefrom the president. As you probablyknow, she just got her divorce inReno—"
Alison did not answer. She < did notknow. These days there seemed to belittle time to read the newspapers, andshe had not happened to hear this bitof gossip.
"She's to arrive shortly, and I wantyou to stay here at the door. I'llbring her in here until the ship is readyto take off. The newspapers are hotafter her."
Alison nodded as Westgate hurriedout of the office into the lobby. Itseemed hours to the girl before sheheard a great fanfare outside. A crowd•was gathering. In a flurry of orchidsand silks and wide silver fox furs, West-gate came running with Mrs. Roerdenon his arm. Behind pursued camera-men, newspaper people, interested spec-tators.
A man in formal morning dress eamepuffing after the two fleeing figures. Asthe three made Westgate'a office, Alisonclosed the door, locked it. As she-turned from the door Alirion jaw AdeleRoerden face to faee for the first time.If Alison stared it was»not to be won-dered at.
Mrs. Roerden, bretttftlefls and laugh-ing, dropped into the big chair behindWestgate's- desk and threw back herfurs. The great masses of purpleorchids on her silk suit tbrushed againsther clear olive cheek*. Her black eyes
were sparkling, and her crimson lipswere jiarted to show her perfect teeth.
"Shefs the loveliest thing I ever saw!"Alisons almost spoke aloud. And becausethere was such obvious and completeadmiration in the eyes of the littlestewardess Mrs. Roerden smiled at her.
"S|ie can't be bad, she's too gorgeous,"was'/ ABfeuii's next thought. How couldRoefrden be so unfair to this lovely crea-tureT Alison hurried to get Mrs.Roerden a glass of ice water.
"Is this the best you have?" demandedAttele Roerden with a laugh, as she tookthe/ glass Alison offered.
Seady for FlightWestgate promptly unlocked a cup-
board and mixed a highball for thelovely new divorcee. They could hearjthe crowds milling about outside thefdoor.
"Never mind. It is all so amusing.I wouldn't have minded talking tothem," and she waved her hand at thestill puffing resplendent figure who hadcome with her. "But Donnie wouldn'thear of it." As the conversation pro-gressed and Donnie had a highball, too,Alison gathered he was Roerden'sChicago attorney. "Now, Adele, it willhe the same fhing at " Newark,' hewarned, "you know John doesn t wantany publicity, and you promised."
"Hi'be taken care of in Newark, neverfear," Adele answered with dancingeyes.
"No pictures if you can avoid it, youagreed to that!"
"No pictures!" She held up herglass and toasted him.
"A<!,ele, what are you plotting?" hedemanded. "I know you're up to some-thing."
"You sound just like John!" Adeleretorted, and as she set dow* her glassfor a moment, saw a handsomediamond bracelet on her wrist and won-dered if it were the one which had comewith flowers on" that Easter morning.
Alison, could hear their ship beingcalled over the loudspeaker.
"It is time to go," Westgate warned."Nonsense! I need another drink.
Westie. Fix it. Hold the ship."Westgate, with a shrug, did a« he wae
ordered. This business of the boss' wife—or ex-wife! be late and hehated that. Adele, watching him,laughed.
"Let 'em wait! It will do em goodand besides John will be furious and Ilove that!"
Deliberately she sipped slowly at thesfecond drink. Westgate Thecrowds outside still milled about.
"Is my luggage on?" Adele asked."Everything is ready when you are,"
Westgate assured her patiently.At last, after she had powdered her
nose, remade her lips, Mrs. Roerdensettled her smart little hat and rosedeliberately. "Now for it!" Obviouslyshe was having the time of her life.
They made a dash for the shipthrough the rear door which opened outon to the apron. Alison followed. Thecrqwd closed in. The little stewardesshad to fight her way to her ship.
Once aboard, breathless, she helpedMrs. Roerden get established. Then, inan instant, Alison could feel the big shipshiver as Jim tried out the motors, oneat a time. By a glimpse she had hadof his head and shoulders before £hil
the-co-pilot, closed the door, Alisonhe was wild because they were leavinglate.
The stewardess breathed a sigh ofrelief when she the wheels leave theground. M?s. Koerden, waving, had herlovely face pres6ed close to the window.Alison almost laughed aloud as ahaglimpsed the poor harassed "Donnie"mopping his brow and waving aside re-porters.
The buzzer sounded. Alison was atMrs. Roerden's side. The woman wastaking a beautiful jewelled flask fromher handbag. "Get me ice water, in aglass, not one of those paper cups, pleasestewardess, *nd hurry."
The "Home-coming."Alison obeyed, producing the glass
from the medicine cabinet,,contrary toorders. The ship was loaded. The wholeaffair had edified the other passengersand both men and women kept pullingat Alison's skirt to inquire what it wasall about.
"If we ever get her into Newark,"Alison thought. By the time they wereover Bellefonts, Alison was eo tired shecould scarcely serve tea. Tea, by theway, which Mrs. Roerden scorned. Andher flask was now empty.
A young chap sitting next to thepresident's ex-wife offered to come tothe rescue, and Alison could only shrugher shoulders a little and get more ice.
At sunset they sighted the airport inJersey. Through the golden mist theysettled to the ground. Alison helpedMrs.. Roerden into her silver fox fursand was with her when she steppedfrom the plane into the midst of some15 newspapermen and photographers.And Lawrence V. Weston.
(To be continued Saturday next.)
In a flurry of orchids and fox furs, Westgatt came running with Mrs. Roerden on his arm. Behind pursuedI cameramen, newspaper reporters, interested spectators.

A THANK YOU TO THEBROWNIES.
You can imagine how surprisedWendy was, when one afternoon lastweek there came a knock at the doorand there on the threshold of SunshineHouse stood four smiling Brownies.They were the sixers from the St.Aidan's Pack (Remuera), and theywere all quite laden down with largeand bulky parcels.
These parcels contained all sorts ofexciting gifts 100 patches, no less,and two beautiful centre patches, onewith a jolly little brownie embroideredon it. In the parcel also were somebeautiful baby clothes, including thedaintiest blue baby set. Lastly, therewere three little "hotties," a birthdaygift from the pack. Most people, whenthey have a birthday, expect to receivegifts. Not so the St. Aidan's Brownies,however. Whenever they have a birth-day they give away gifts, which seemsa very "Brownieish" and unselfish wayof celebrating a birthday, doesn't it?
The four little sixers who visitedSunshine House with Brown Owl wereMargaret Aldiss, Vivienne Slyfield,Ailsa Kellie and Coral Vague. Wesend our best thanks to this busyBrownie Pack.

LATEST NEWSFROM SUNSHINELANDPeter Pan's Threepenny Drive.
Wendy Tells of a Busy Week.Dear Sunbeams—
Peter Pan has decided to have a drive for threepenny pieces! He decided it quite suddenly when hesaw the great mountain of quilts stacked up in a corner of Sunshine House, all awaiting linings. It seemedpathetic to think of little boys and girls cold, while we have all these big woolly quilts stored here at the PeterPan office. And, of course, we simply cannot send them out without linings. Peter Pan told you a fortnightago what Would happen if We did that—about little toes poking through the loose knitting and patches comingapart. No, it would simply never do to send our lovely quills out unlined.
So he decided to have a drive for threepenny pieces. He reasoned thus: "A threepence is a very littlebit of money. No one Would miss it, and lots and lots and lots of our Sunbeams have threepences to spendoccasionally. I shall ask each Sunbeam to send me threepence, and perhapi some of the mothers and fathersand aunties and uncles might send a threepence 100, and then, hi, presto! oar lining worries will be at an end."That, you see, is how Peter Pan reasoned, and I think it a very sound idea, don't you? I hope you will allmanage to send threepence, because really Peter Pan is getting quite Worried—and those quills are mountingup, you know.
It has been such a busy week at Sunshine House, and such a lovely one, too. Every parcel that arrivedseemed to contain just the very things we were most urgently requiring. When We were quite worried aboutfour little brothers, all with coughs and colds, in came a nice parcel of boys' pyjamas and vests—in came abox of lemons for hot lemon drinks—in came tins of cocoa and packets of breakfast food. When we werewondering what to do about a tiny new baby, along came the Warmest blue baby outfit, complete with frocksand coatees, baby blankets and bonnets—even a rattle and a dear little brush and comb. Cranny was ill,and We had little to send her. A snug pink bed jacket arrived by that very mail—a hoi water bottle followedby the next. We had sent out our very last quilt (the forty-eighth for the Week), when word came of a familyof little boys and girls in urgent need of thick, Warm blankets. Peter Pan and I were terribly worried. Thenin came the afternoon mail, and-—oh, joy!—what big parcels there seemed to be. "They must be quilts,"said Peter Pan, and we feverishly commenced opening them. And quills they certainly Were—some knitted,others warm material quilts—the very last parcel a pair of beautiful single bed blankets. How pleased anddelighted we Were. Peter Pan rushed to the phone to ring up a carrier, and / packed the quills. That night,
the first time for many a long, long day, a family of little boys and girls experienced the comfort ofbeing lucked up Warmly beneath cosy coverings; (hey £nen> what it fell like to have hot Water bottles at theirfeel, end Warm nighlwear about their little bodies.
So a busy week drew to a happy close, and Peter Pan and I left Sunshine House—Peter Pan ladenH>i\lh a great parcel of quilts all ready to be dispatched by rail, a jolly litllc doll tucked under my arm. Andas that same little doll is Wailing to be dressed all daintily and cosily for seven-year-oldPeggy dnn, I must bring this leller to a close and turn my mind lo momentous matters M * —such as doll dressing.
Love lo you all, dear Sunbeams, from

A Drive For Threepences.LINING OUR SUNSHINE QUILTS.
And still the vast task of lining our Sunshine quilts goes on.Of course, never before have such amazing numbers of quilts
poured into Sunshine House. Between fifty and seventy quilts aredistributed weekly, and as it takes approximately five yards of materialto line each quilt, you can imagine the tremendous amount of liningthat is required. Indeed, Sunbeams would be amazed if theycould see the great bales of material that our busy committee ladiesuse each week.
So I have decided to have a special drive for threepences in otherwords, 1 want each and every Sunshine helper to contribute one singlethreepence to ■ the lining fund. Threepenny contributions will be wel>comed from clubs, from grown-ups, from everyone who is at all inter*ested in our work of bringing sunshine and happiness into the lives oflittle children.
_' have a large red book looking very bright and cheery. On theoutside is printed in big block letters, "Threepenny Drive," and insidewill be written the names of those who contribute to this special fund.Will your name be in it, Sunbeam reader?—PETEß PAN.

THE TOO-TEARFUL GNOME(Winning entry by Inez Henley, 10, Mon-mouth Street, Grey Lynn.)
There was once a little gnome. Hewas too tearful. Whenever the slight-est thing went wrong, or did not happenexactly as he wished, he began to cry.His mother and father did not knowwhat to do to cure him. "If you go oncrying like this, we are sure that some-thing terrible will happen to you," theysaid. But the little gnome took nonotice. He went on crying just as oftenas before.
One day Mother and Daddy Gnomewent out, and the Too-Tearful Gnomewas left alone in the little house in thewood. "Xow, don't cry until we comeback," they said.
111 try not to," said the little Gnome,as he leaned out of the little widow andwaved them good-bye. Then he got outhis lesson books and set to work ascheerfully as he could.Presently he heard a noise outside thehouse. Stompetty, stompetty, stomp.Someone was passing by. The little
Gnome ran to the window and lookedout. It was the Witch of the Wood,hobbling along with her stick.
"Oh, Witch," cried the little Gnome,"do give me your stick. It's such a lovelyone. It ifould be splendid for knockingthe apples off our trees,""What an idea," exclaimed the Witch
of the Wood. "Give you my stick. Ishould think not, indeed." And shewent hobbling, stompetty, stomp, asbefore.
Then the Too Tearful Gnome wentback to the table and began to cry. Hecried, and he cried, and he cried. Andat last, when he wanted to stop, hefound he couldn't.
Fast, fast, ever so fast fell his tears.They ran down his cheeks, on to hislesson books, on to the tablecloth, andon to the floor. Soon there was quite alittle jmdol all around his chair. He tookout his tiny handkerchief and moppedhis eyes, but liis tears were falling soterribly fast that in a moment it wasquite soaked through.
"Oh dear, oh dear," eried the littleGnome. "Whatever am I to dot"
The little pool round his chair wassoon a pond and spread all over the floor.Then it began to rise, slowly, butsurely, higher and higher, and higher.Before long the pond reached up to theseat of his chair, and the little Gnomehad to climb on to the table to preventhimself getting wet. Soon the tearsreached up to the table top and thebooks and papers that were on it beganfloating off. "Goodness gracious," criedthe little Gnome, and he took a flyingleap across the room and out of thedoor, and scuttled upstairs as fast ashe could go.
"I wish I could stop crying," said theToo Tearful Gnome, as he ran into hisbedroom and sat down on his little bed.But his tears kept falling faster, evenfaster than before, and nothing that hecould do or say would make them stop.
"I shall be drowned presently if Ikeep on crying like this," said theGnome, and he went to the window andlooked out.
The tears were beginning to run outthrough the front door and the windowßnow, and some of the furniture andpictures and ornaments were floatingout, too. The little Gnome could nothelp laughing through his crying—it wassuch a comical sight
But the Too-Tearful Gnome did notlaugh any more when the tears beganto ritse up in the bedroom, up to thebed, and mantelpiece, and lie was forcedto elimb out through the window andclamber up on the roof. And there hesat, clinging on the chimney, with thetears still pouring out from his eyes,looking and feeling just as sad and for-lorn as a poor little Gnome could pos-sibly do.
He had not much time, however, tothink of his pitiful plight. For veryBoon the tears had reached up to thechimney, and the Too-Tearful Gnomehad to let go.
"I'm glad I can swim," he said, as he.plunged down into the pool of his tears.
It was a big river now, and the Too-Tearful Gnome went swimming alongwith all the things that had floated outof his house. . When he felt tired heclimbed on to a chair and went speedingalong. And presently, far away in thedistance, he spied the Witch of theWood.
She was under a tree, and was fastasleep, for the river of tears had notreached up to her yet. And her sticklay on the ground by her side. "She'llhave a shock in a moment," cried theToo-Tearful Gnome, "shock of her life;and perhaps she'll be sorry, the horridold thing, that 6he did not give me herstick."
Then on he went speeding, and histears kept on falling faster, faster thanever before.
At last the river came on the tree,and the Witch woke up with a start."Goodness gracious!" she cried, "what-ever is this ?" Then she leapt to herfeet and lifted up her long skirts fromthe ground.
Next moment the river would haveswept her away, but she swung herselfup into the tree just in time.
Soon the furniture began to speed by,and then came the Too-Tearful Gnome.He had been washed off the chair, andwas swimming again. And he wasgetting most terribly tired. "Help!Help!" he cried when he caught sightof the Witch.
Then, the Witch of the Wood stretchedout lier stick. The Too-Tearful Gnomecaught hold of the end and the Witchpulled him up into the tree. "Now,what is the meaning of all this?" sheasked.
"I have been crying for ages and ages."sobbed the Too-Tearful Gnome. "Ican't possibly stop, and that river hasbeen made bv mv tears."
"Oh, oh," said the Witch. "Oh, oh.Xow I remember. You are the Gnomewho looked out of the window a shorttime ago and asked me to jrive you mystick, llie Too-Tearful Gnome, I be-lieve. people call you. Is that rijrlit?"
"Yes," said the Gnome, hanging hishead. "It is."
"Now supposing," went on the Witchof the Wood, "that as I hobbled by Iwaved my stick to and fro—it is amagic stick, as perhaps you may guess—and toTd it that, if you cried, it inustmake you not able to stop. LittleGnomes must learn that they cannothave everything just as they wish. Doyou think, if I waved it attain, youwould try not to cry any more?"
"I promise I will," cried the Too-Tear-ful Gnome.
Then the Witch waved her stick, and.lo and behold, the Too-Tearful Gnomestopped crying ell at once. She wavedit a«rain, and the river of tears disap-peared.
"Xow the very beat thing for you todo," said she, "is to get all that furni-ture back to your house before yourmother and daddv come home."
The Too-Tearful Gnome flun<r his twolittle arms round the old Witch's neck,and g<i . e her a tremendous hug. "Youdarling," he cried, "I'm so sorry I calledyou 'horrid' just now."
"Yes, I heard you," laughed the Witch,"though I was fast asleep. lam gladyou think you made a mistake. Xowrun along and get your furniture home."
So the Too-Tearful Gnome hoppeddown from the tree and took up a chair.He hoisted it on to his back and car-ried it back to hi« houee. He expectedto find the little house all dripping wet.But it was dry as a bone. "It's theWitch of the Wood who has done it,"he cried. "The dear old thing."
And the Witch of the Wood and herstick had not finished their magic workyet. For when the (inome came out ofthe house to go back for another chair,the pictures, and furniture, and orna-ments were walking, all by themselves,one by one through the wood. Theywalked into the house, and arrangedthemselves just where they should be.
"Oh, how splendid!" cried the Too-Tearful Gnome, and he clapped his littlehands in delight.
So when, soon after, Mother andDaddy Onome returned home, they foundeverything just as it had been whenthey left. And the Too-Tearful Gnomewas looking out for them, his little facebeaming with smiles.
"We are glad to see you looking sohappy," Mother and Daddy Gnome cried.
"I haven't been like this all the time."said the Too-Tearful Gnome, and lie toldmother and daddy his tale. When hehad finished they botli laughed andlaughed until, very nearly, they cried.Rut they stopped just in time'. "Wemustn't begin crying," they sitid.
From that day to this the Too-TearfulGnome has never cried when things havegone wrong, or have not happened justas he wished. TTis mother and daddyhave often suggested changing his name.But tlie Too-Tearful Gnome always says"No, I will keep my old name. It willmake me remember that terrible daywhen the Witch waved her stick. If Iforget, • I might become too tearfulagain."

TRUE SCALE PLANS OF THE D.H. MOTH
GREAT SUCCESS OF MODEL FLYERS IN GAINING POSITIONS INTHE NEW AIR FORCE SCHEME.
First of all we had bettor have a lookat these plans. Though an old "plane,comparatively speaking, the D.H. Mothis beloved of many and definitely laidthe foundation for the success of thelight aeroplane. All over 2Jew Zealandthey have flown, and we owe much totheir rugged construction and depend-able qualities. This model has the letter-ing of Flight-Lieutenant Allen'sfavourite machine, the one in which hehas thrilled the crowds at Mangere forthe past few years. Of course, you mayhave a special D.H. favourite of yourown, and if so you can use your ownlettering. The picture in the centre ofthe plan is not of this machine, beingincluded merely to give you a good pic-torial representation of a standard Moth.In making up this model the usual linesare followed; solid balsa for the bodyand wings and tail gear, cut to shape,sanded smooth and coloured beforeassembly. If you have a favouriteaviator friend who flies a Moth, howabout making a model and presentingit to him. Perhaps lie has been goodenough to give you a flight at some time.A nicely made model of his own particu-lar machine will please him, I knowthat.
model Hying naturally attracts thosethat are of such a character and abilitythat makes them suitable for big flying.Other names in the model world occurto me in connection with this new flyingexpansion scheme. Chris Taylor, ofHamilton, one of our old members, andin fact still one, has left New Zealandto join the R.A.F. in England, anotherbeing Keith Priscott, aleo bound forEngland and the R.A.F., whilst JohnPovnton has lately gone over to jointhe staff of the Phillips and PowisAero Works to learn how to build Milesaircraft among other duties.
Coming still nearer to home again, youwill remember that Noel Taylor, a veryold member of the club, won the firstAuckland Aero Club bursary whichentitled him ta free tuition, and thesecond such c«*rpetition was won byTom Clark, not a member, but a keenmodel builder. I think that theee factswill convince anyone that model aviationis a good training ground for the "bigstuff" and that members of organisedmodel aeroplane clubs have predominatedin the final selections made in every suchscheme. Therefore, a« a stepping 6toneinto aviation it cannot be overlooked,and on the other hand, the authoritiesmust, and I really believe are now be-
Air Force Appointments.I think the model aeroplane builders
throughout New Zealand have greatreason to be proud of the percentage oftheir number that has been selected forthe various units under the new AirForce scheme. First of all, I must saythat I am personally acquainted withonly those in the .North, and I am con-fident that many of our band are amongthe lucky ones in the South. I shouldbe pleased to hear of any such names, asI think we are all interested. Up thisway there were nine positions open fortraining by the Auckland Aero Club,and three members of the AucklandModel Aeroplane Club were selected,.lust one-third of the total number, outof hundreds of applicants. Surely thisspeaks for itself. No other organisa-tion can possibly boast \>f such a greatpercentage. Apart from what clubthey belonged to, the fact that theyare all model aeroplane enthusiasts is astriking testimony to the benefitsderived from this wonderful sport ofours. First of all there is J. R. (Bob)Penniket, of Hamilton, who is the secre-tary of the Hamilton branch of the aboveclub. Bob liae been a keen modelbuilder for years, and has never let hisenthusiasm wane in the slightest so thatnow he has reaped the reward of hisconstant study. Good luck to him.Then we have next Henry Lamond, whohas been a member of the club for years,and has still retained his membershipeven though his efforts lately have beenmore confined to full-size gliding.Undoubtedly the training in bothbranches will have had some influence infitting him for his present position.Last, but not least, we have W. B.(Bill) Mackley, popular club captain andexpert flyer of both New Zealand andinternational experience. Bill willcarry the goodwill of the flyers of NewZealand with him in his further workin aviation. I'don't wish to detract inany way from the personal prowess ofthese young men when I say that theyhave been assisted by their modelcareer. Possibly, on the other hand,
ginning to realise that from the ranksof the model clubs will come the bestof the aviators of to-morrow.
Association Notes.At the last meeting of the X.Z.M.A.A.
council of management a number of mat-ters of importance in the model worldwere brought up and discussed. First ofall, the trouble over the weight rule wasironed out. You will remember that wechanged the weight ruling to suit thenew Moffett ruling in America, and thenat the last moment it was changed again,incidentally preventing us from havinga chance to defend this internationaltrophy. Well, we are still waiting fornew 6 about the final outcome of that,hut in the meantime the game must goon here, and so, after taking a reportfrom the technical committee; it wasdecided to allow the old weight rule tostand, but to raise the Wakelield weightrule to what is now the standard in Eng-land. i.e.. Soz minimum and 200 squareinches, wing area (plus or minus of 10square inches allowable). This meansthat all records in the Wakefield class(Soz) start again. The old ones will stillstand on the books, but of course nomore times under the old class (4oz)will be taken. Then there was the newweight rule spar model class instituted(2oz per 100 square inches), the ideabeing that this is a big contest class, inAmerica, and gives the more expertbuilders a class to practice in. whilst itstill leaves a bigger margin or scope forthe less experienced members who canfl.v any type of weight spar model incompetition. The H.L. class in scalemodels was cut right out altogether.Taking it all round this revision of rulesseems very fair and should be a movein sympathy with modern trends ofdesign. It was decided to write to theModel Flying Club of Australia, pointingout that 011 a circular received from themthe Xew Zealand Model Aeroplane Asso-ciation was stated to be affiliated withthem, which is contrary to fact, and askthem to remove such matter from anyfuture circulars of theirs. It was pointedout that though quite willing to retain
friendly relations, the N.Z.M.A.A. is theoriginal and sole governing body in NewZealand, recognised as such by the NewZealand Aero Club (Inc.), which isdirectly affiliated with the Royal AeroClub of Great Britain, and a member ofthe F.A.I, (world-body governing avia-tion).
Finance matters, record claims, districtI association reports and matters pertain-j ing to the Texaco competitions weredealt with.
AUCKLAND WINTER SHOW.SPECIAL LATE ANNOUNCEMENT,
I have just received the fofloavißgdetails which will be of speeial interestto model builders around Auckland andoven further south. The show, as yonknow, has been postponed till August,and entries are now receivable up toFriday, July 16, at the office of the A.and P. Association, 41, Albert Street,Auckland. Models are required to bedelivered to shed 12 before 9 a.m.on Monday, August 9. The elasseaare as follows:—Workmanship Division,junior: Scale model landplane, scale offin to Ift; scale model seaplane, samescale; solid scale model (one only—nota pair as before), scale 1-60 or 1-64 fullsize. In the open division the firstthree classes are the same as above andin addition there are: Beet indoor flyingmodel to be judged on workmanship anddesign; best outdoor flying model; bestpetrol-driven model. Besides the usualprizes the first class mentioned in eachdivision gets respectively the SilverKing Cup and the Modelair Cup for th»champion model of the show.
BIG COMPETITION.
I have recently seen the details of avery interesting competition for modelaeroplane builders throughout New Zea-land. The prize* are very handsome,the first prize being a completely fin-ished 6ft wingspan petrol model aero-plane and a Bunch mighty midget motorof 1-5 h.p.. so that the winner will havea complete outfit. Other prize* includea T-T) coupe (petrol model) kitset, and
a number of others, any of which areworth winning. The best part of thiscompetition is that it is to be competedfor by builders of rubber-driven models.Usually these competitions are only forgas jobs, and this precludes a lot ofenthusiasts entering because of therather expensive equipment necessary tostart off with. I have a number of thedescriptive pamphlets giving all detailsand will be pleased to send them to youon receipt of a stamped addressed enve-lope.

West ChristchurchHigh School
THERE are few schoolboys and schoolgirls who have not at one time oranother thrilled to the immortal words of Henry Newbolt printed above.They express so much better than most of us can express what we have
felt about our own schools, and they adequately sum up the loyalty andaffectionate regard of the old boys and girfa of West Christchurch HighSchool for their alma mater.
West Christchurch High School , has had a remarkable history, verydifferent from the usual prosaic, records of steady progress from founda-tion to maturity. Though usually considered as beginning in 1874, thereal beginning can be traced back to 1858, when there was opened inconnection with St. Andrew's Church the Christchurch High fichooL Thisschool had a large boarding establish-ment. In 1863 a committee that hailbeen sot up to arrange for a-suitablesite for a nqw school reported to theSt. Andrew's congregation that it hadfound the block for which it had beenlooking. "The position of this blockhas many special advantages; it frontson Hagley Park, has a good exposure,and as nearly as possible resemblesthe position of similar schools in Edinburgh and other larger towns.inScotland." It is probable that the last sentence of the committee's reporthad much to do with,, the congregation's approval of the site, and so ithappened that the present splendid site of West Christchurch High Schoolwas chosen.
The new school was built, but an old building, about 16ftby 20ft, wasdrawn on rollers by pupils to the new site. So the school carried on itswork from 1864 to 1873, when the Provincial Government purchased itfrom the congregation of St. Andrew's Church and it became WestChristchurch School.
To speak of fame a �enture is,There's little here can bide.But we may face the centuries.And dare the deepening tide;For though the dust that's part of us—To dust again be gone.Yet kere shall beat the heart of us—The school we handed on.We'll honour yet the school we knew.The best school of all;We'll honour yet the rule we knew.Till the last bell call.For, working days or holidays.And glad or melancholy days.They were great days and jolly daysAt the best school of aIL
In 1874 the school was a primary school teaching 70 pupils and doinghigh school work—to-day the school is the largest co-educational post-primary school in New Zealand. Wonderfnl years of growth followed the
-taking over of the school by the State, and in 1887 the roll had swelledto the astonishing total of 1756. Addington, which first of all had beenestablished as a side school in 1981, gained full status as a separateinstitution in 1892.
The continual growth of West Christchiirch resulted in other "hivingsoflT' in addition to Addington. In 1892 Waltham School was established,and this was followed by Wharenui in 1906. The next great advance tookplace in 1904, when the secondary department of the school was estab-
lished, chiefly through the influenceof the Rt. Hon. R. J. Seddon. Theyear 1912 saw the foundation of thesenior cadet corps, and two years later,when the Great War began, nineteenold boys of "West" were farewelled ontheir leaving to take part in the greatadventure. On the school's honoursboard to-day'may be seen the namesof 185 old beys—and the list is farfrom complete—who answered their country's call. The school is proud of
its soldier sons.As the years marched on, so did West Christchurch. Since 1930 there
have been some momentous changes at the old school. Its status has beentwice changed—first from a primary school with a secondary departmentto that of a school with an intermediate department and a large secondarydepartment—and again at the end of; 1935 it was changed to full secondarystatus and opened last year as the Christchurch West High School underthe control of the Canterbury' University College Council.

STORIES OF NEW ZEALANDCAPTAIN TAPSELL, THE TRADER OF MAKETU— ADVENTURES
HOW FLAX WAS BARTERED FOR MUSKETS.
IN" last week's story I describedtlie sea life of Captain Hans Tap-tell, the Danish whaler and
privateer commander. In the year1830 he gave up the career of a sailorand settled on the Bay of Plentycoast, in order to trade with theMaoris. He chose the small harbouror river mouth of Maketu (pro-nounced with the accent on the lastsyllabic, "too"], where the KaitunaRiver reached the sea. ;He boughta small piece of land there for histrading store and house on the shore,and he made his home on the flat topof Maketu Hill, the ancient pa of theArawft people. The Arawa haddeserted the placc because of thelong wars, but when the white chiefset up his home there, hundreds ofthe tribcspeople returned from theparts of the country, eager to tradewith him.
The jjreat article of commerce thenwas flax, which the Maoris sold, orbartered, to the traders for muskets,gunpowder and lead, blankets andtobacco.
The flax plants grew abundantly inthe large swamps and the rivervalley, and all the people set towork busily preparing muka[moo-ka], as the ecraped andbleached flax waa called. Theirthatched huts extended along thebeach and along the banks of theKaituna. The method of preparingthe muka was to scrape all the outerpart off the green leaves with a sharpmussel shell or a pipi shell, and thento pound up the fibre with a stonebeater, and hang it out to bleach inthe sun.
In this way a fine white, silkyfibre was produced, which found agood market in Sydney and London,through the medium of the tradera.It was used for making ropes andtwine; cordage produced from it wasused in the ships of the Royal Navyas well as merchant vessels. It tustronger than any other fibre usedfor cordage in thoee day*. The flaxwas beautifully prepared by thesimple Maori process, which gave amuch better result than any obtainedby machinery to-day. ~
It was very hard work to producea ton of flax, the amount necessaryto \ pay for a musket or a keg «fgunpowder. Later on, when moretraders 1 settled along the coast,. halfa ton became the usual price for amusket. These guns were valued forMaori trade at £20 each, at first;really they were not worth morethan £3 or £4, so the trader madea large profit.
The sound of the flax scraping withsharp shells was heard all day alongthe- shore and the river bank, andsometimes all night. The work; roseto a frenzy when a vessel's cargo wasbeing prepared.
Then for all the workers large.foodsupplies were necessary. Hundredsof men set to work making loogneta
of flax to obtain fish. The quan-tity of fish caught in the nets wasenormous. Tons of fish were caughtevery day, and the share set apartfor Captain Tapsell va« an'immensepile, far more than he could con-sume. He selected what he and hi«household required and returned therest; it was cured and sent to thetribes inland, at Rotorue. They, inreturn, sent large quantities of pota-toes, carried in flax baskets on thebacks of hundreds of women andslaves, like a string of pack-horses.The Rotorua chiefs also sent hiin:
dreds of baskets of the lake koura,or crayfish.
The Guns of Tapsell.Tapsell's store for the flax he
bought was a thatched building 120ftin length. It was sometimes quitefull of baskete of dressed muka,awaiting the arrival of a schoonerfrom Sydney. For the protectionof the large pa on the hill above thebeach Tapsell procured from Sydney
and from various vessels a batteryof guns. These were muzzle-loadingcannon, which he mounted on woodencarriages at suitable places aroundthe hilltop, with square openings cutin the timber stockade, like the gun-ports in a ship of those days.
An old warrior showed me theplaces where these guns were set,commanding the beach and the inlandvalley. Each gun, he said, wasgiven a name. One was calledafterTapsell—whose name became "Tapi-hana" in Maori [with the accent onthe first syllable]. The others werenamed in honour of chiefs and ances-tors of the tribe.
Tapsell married, at Maketu, ahandsome young woman of the eighthgeneration in direct descent fromHinemoa and Tutanekai, of romantic'memory. He had been married twicepreviously by missionaries at. theBay of Islands. Both those Ngapuhiwives had died. The third Mrs.Tapsell became tbe mother of manychildren, and so numerous are the
WITH THE MAORIS—
descendants of the pakeha-Maoripair that they form now a sub-tribeof their own numbering more th«n100, and they are called "The Child-ren of Tapihana."
The business of bartering flax forguns and other necessaries of life wasoften interrupted by wars. TheTauranga men fought those ofMaketu and there were many battleson the ocean beach, followed by can-nibal feasts. All the tribes whowere not directly under missionaryinfluence were cannibals in war-time,and the period between 1820 and 1840was one of almost continual turmoil.
All About Six Muskets.The rush of the Maoris to obtain
firearms and ammunition with whichto defend their homes and attacktheir foes was highly profitable tothe white traders in munitions ofwar. But Captain Tapsell, like someother traders along the coast, waspresently overtaken by disaster. Itwas the indirect result of his ownshare in the terrible traffic in arms.
There was a chief named Haere-huka. of Rotorua, who frequentlysold flax to Tapsell. It was carriedto Maketu on the backs of hie tribes-people and slaves. Tapsell sometimesmade advances of goods against flaxthat had yet to be cut and prepared,and the Maoris were thus in debt tohim. One day this Rotorua chiefwent to him and asked for some gun-powder and other goods as anadvance.
"No," said the trader, "you are sixmuskets in my debt. I shall notlet you have any more goods untilyou pay for them."
Haere-huka pressed his request, butTapsell firmly refused.'It is well, then," .said the Maori,
greatly annoyed. "If you will nottrust me, I shall spoil your tradingbusiness. 11l stop this flax-scrap-ing. Wait and see."
Invasion anil Disaster.It was not long before news of
Haere-huka's skilful revenge for hisrebuff came to Maketu. He killed,on an excuse sufficient in Maori eyes,a chief who was related to the peopleof Matamata, a powerful tribe led bythe great warrior Te Waharoa. Thekilling was deliberately designed tobring down on the Arawa and alltheir friends the anger . and ven-geance of the inland tribes. It didnot matter that Haere-huka himselfwould suffer with the rest. TeWaharoa and his allies of Wdikatoraised an army of more than 1000men, nearly all armed with muskets.They joined the Tauranga tribes anddiscussed their campaign.
"Let us all go to Maketu," was thefinal decision. "It is not stronglydefended. We can take it in spiteof Tapsell and his guns, and we shallseize all his goods and his guns andpowder."

For several reasons I do not thinkthat either Arabs or Jew« will besatisfied by the suggestion.'
If the recommendations of theCommission are accepted the Jewswill receive the finest part of Pales-tine and the Arabs . a poor secondportion. The suggested division maygive the Arabs by far the larger por-tion, but the Arabs would probablyargue "What is the good of thatwhen a large area of it is merelydesert or semi-deßertt" v
Neither can the proposal be re-garded as satisfactory from theJewish point of view. Their idea ofa Jewish national home embraces notonly Palestine but Transjordan aswell. Their portion of the proposeddivision of Palestine, although therichest part, would only be a verysmall part. It wouldhave to live onexport trade overseas—the Surround-ing countries would be closed to itby an Arab boycott. Such a smallcountry could not support a large

UXTO matter," thought Jimmy,opening out as he reached thefairway. "Well overhaul his
old hooker in a brace of shakes."But the old hooker had got off the
mark without delay, and was flip-ping light-heartedly towards Bournewith her sail stretched almost tobursting point. , Crouched low overthe steering wheel, her skipper wascoaxing her onward with little chir-rups of pure exultation. The thirdmile post loomed into view andflashed by.
"By Jove, she can go!" thoughtJimmy, peering over his handlebars,and opened out still further.
He was doing a good fifty whenhe passed the second mile post, buthad decreased his handicap by lessthan a mile. Le?s than a mile! .
. .
"This won't do," he muttered fiercely,and increased to 55. The third milepost flipped by.
Borne on the wings of the wind,or. rather, outpacing the wind by somany yards per second, the roar ofthe engine :ame to the ears of Alecin a gust of sound. He turned hishead sharply, and, without theslightest hesitation the land yachtfollowed suit. The North Sea surgedup hungrily to meet ber. A longwhite-capped breaker held out wel-coming arms, and with a hies arid asplutter she dived into it, rearedupwards like a mettlesome steedand, for the second time that morn-ing. got rid of her crew.
The motor cycle came alongside asAlec picked himself np. Jimmy dis-mounted and waded in to his assist-ance.
,i
"You all right?" he inquired."Oh. not bad," said Alec glumly;
"but I'm afraid I've dished the yachtwith my fatheadedness. The masthas gone by the board, for one thing,and I don't like the look of thatfront wheel." '
They lifted her tenderly and car-ried her ashore. One glance wassufficient to reveal the melancholytruth that, for the time being atleast, she was completely crippled.They cut away the wreckage,hitchedher to the carrier of the cycle andtowed her slowly up the beach to thehome.
As they went Jimmy imparted thenews of the mysterious intrusion,but somehow the incident seemed tohave lost a good deal of punch in thelast five minutes.
"I expect," said Alec disinterest-edly. "that it was some common orgarden wayfarer, with an eye for themain chance. We've had them roundthis wav before."
"Yes. but what about the car Iheard ?"
"Buzzing in the ears, old man,buzzing in the earn."
So they left it at that.• • • •
Alec spent the rest of the day inthe workshop, effecting the necessaryrepairs to his craft. By teatime hewas able to announce that, so far ascould be seen, she was once more incoasting trim.
THE
LAND YACHTi "We'll jnet have time to give herI one short trial trip before dark," heaaid at the tea-table. "How's thewind, Jimmy?"
Jimmy had been out motoring upand down the beach most of theafternoon, and, having broken all hisprevious records by "doing 70," wasfeeling exceptionally well pleasedwith himself.
"She's blowing up into a younghurricane." he reported. "Too strongfor your little hooker, I'm afraid, oldman. You'd better lie up."
"Oh, I don't know," said Alec non-committally. "1 can take a prettysizeable reef in the sail if necessary,y' know; and I'd like to find outhow she behaves in a really tonghwind."
A short walk along the promon-tory after tea, however, convincedhim of the soundness of his friend'sadvice. Squadrons of inky cloudswere scudding up from the north-east,.,and there were white stormcape on the waves that boded ill forthe coming night. The boys built npa huge fire in the snug living roomand dug themselves in for a first-class "fug." The professor looked injust before hailf-past eight and stop-ped to chat for a, few minutes beforereturning to his work in the labora-tory.
"Seems in a cheerful sort of moodto-night, doesn't he?" observedJimmy drowsily, from the depths ofhis chair.
"He'a putting the finishing touchesto that big job of .his," said Alec,without locking up from the nauticalalmanac We was studying. "Natur-ally he'll feel a trifle chirpy aboutit."
.
,Half an hour passed peacefully.
The maid came in at nine to set thetable for supper. She spread thecloth and then hastened out again,leaving the door ajar.
"Ough!" shivered Jimmy. "Whata draught! Shut the door, Alec."
Alec glanced up and measured thedistance with his eye.
"You are nearer," he observedflatly, and went on with his reading.
Jimmy sighed and was screwing tiphis energy to do the job himselfwhen a movement in the hall caughthis eye. Something—or eameone—darted past the doorway.
"Hullo!" he exclaimed, and startedup.
Alec raised his head. "What's thematter now?"
Before Jimmy could reply therecame a shrill scream from the direc-tion of the kitchen, and a crash, asof the falling of crockery. A gust ofwind swirled in as the outer doorwas opened, then closed again with
a bang that reverberated through thehouse.
With a simultaneous movementthe boys leapt to the'door. Thewhite-faced maid rußhed down thehall to meet them.
"A man," , she gasped, "all muffledup—"
"All right, Mary," said Alec reas-suringly, as they brushed past her!"Go upstairs with Mrs. Murray andsee if iny uncle is all right."
As they dashed out into the ll!ghta motor car engine awoke to life inthe roadway. Alec sprinted down tothe gate and was just in time to seeit moving off towarda Bourne.
>Jimmy doubled round to the coach-house to get his motor cycle.
He found that both tyres were flaton the rims and the magneto wirecut. ,
.
"The cur si" cried Alec, stormingup. "They've stolen the completedata of uncle's big job. I've juat seenMrs. Murray. They had him gaggedand tied to his chair." *
1 "And they've ecuppered my bike,"said Jimmy bitterly. "We're done,Alec."
, "No; there's still the land yacht.Come on."
.He was sprinting off."But we can't take to the rOad on
the land yacht," said Jimmy, follow-ing up. "And even if we can—"
"We won't try, old scout. We'lltake the short cut down the beach toBourne. Hold that door open." Hewas working feverishly at the sail."What time is it?"
Jimmy peered at hig watch."Ten past nine.""Phew! Then it'll be a race with
the tide. She'll be well up the beachnow—not so much at this end asbetween the third and fourth mileposts, where I came a mucker thismorning. There's a sort of trough inthe beach running right up to thefeet of the dunes, about 200 yardsacross and too deep to ford. If thetide beats us—" ,
"But, look here, even . supposingconditions were favourable—whichthey are not—what hope have we ofbeating a high-power car?"
Alec wm guiding the yacht outinto the garden.
"A high-power car isn't much goodon a road that twiste sharply almostevery quarter mile," he shouted."Come on. There's no time forquibbling.*
They found their way by the lightof a fitful moon to the beach. Lessthan 30 yards from high-water markthe pent-up fury of the atorm was
renting itself on the sand. The windwas wet with driving epray.
They rushed the yacht across tothe fairway. Alec seized the wheeland Jimmy flung himself full-lengthalong the weather side.
They were off.The mooti went in, and they twerehurtling through gusty darkness.
The sound of tl» sea wa« Mkethunder in the air about them. Theghostly white line of breakers roaredup towards them and retreated. Themoon came out and showed, a vast
I expanse of storm-tossed water."First mile post on the starboard
bow," yelled Jimmy.The wind had taken them too far
up the beach. In the uncertain lightit was difficult to judge the course.Alec put her a few points to port,dedding that the best plan would beto hug the water line. Two minuteslater they passed the second milepost.
They were now -travelling at topspeed.
A-wave broke within three lengthsof the yacht and struck the wheelswith an impact that sent a tremorright through her. Alec allowed herto go a point or so to starboard; butthe next wave seemed even closerand drenched them with spray. Thefairway was narrowing with alarm-ing rapidity.
"Third mile post on the starboardbow," yelled Jimmy.
They had entered the danger sone.Alec's eyes were anxiously searchingthe darkness ahead. The moon.wentin and nothing but the restless lineof foam on the left and the vagueoutline of the sand-dunes on theright waa left to mark their course.At the speed they were travelling avery Blight deflection either waywould hurl them to disaster. Fur-thermore, if the incoming tide filledthe trough to the feet of tlie dunes,or even to that point where the hardsand met the loose, nothing b'ut amiracle could save them. They wererushing headlong, in fact, to almostcertain disaster.
"Water ahead!" yelled Jimmy..It had come sooner than Alec
expected. He knew that he was toofar below high-water mark, andflung the wheel to starboard. Theyacht heeled over at a terrifyingangle, then righted herself miracu-lously. Three y/trds away the darksand-dunes were racing by. Theground was dropping away rapidlyas they entered the trough. Abovethe growl of an approaching wavethey could hear the spit and splutterof the wheels in the backwash of thelast.
Next moment the wave broke. Fora space the yacht seemed to leavethe ground completely. She lurchedbroadside, quivering from stem tostern. Then she wa« on hard groundagain, racing onward with the back-wash tearing at her wheels. Thenext wave gathered and swept for-ward. But • they were climbingrapidly. They could dimly discernthe line of eurf curving out from thedunes as they left the trough.

BECAUSE OFJERRY CHIBBORNE
IP Chibborne had not come back onthat afternoon r&ther earlier thanusual from school irr distant
Maldon, then the great adventurecould not have been, and the policeand other authorities • concernedwould have remained as before,baffled and. gnawing their fingers inchagrin and exasperation, while thewrong-doing went on as extensivelyas ever, bringing harm to the public.
It was as Jerry took the "daily"out of the satchel strapped on hi»motor .bicycle, for he always broughthome the newspaper, that the head-lines took his eye:
£2000 REWARD."Still the flood—"But so hungry was Chibborne that;he did not trouble to unfold the,
paper and read more. / Tucking thejournal under his arm and snatchingat his school books, ha made offacross the courtyard, entering the!hall as usual by the back door.
"Oh my!" he whooped, getting asavoury whiff on opening.; thekitchen door, "apple tarts and mut-.ton pies! Oh, 'Bitha—dear, dearMiss Ruddlins—be kind to m«s',
"Two pasties, then, Wintershe replied, "and please find threerabbits for the larder."
"Know where I can knock themover oa easily as winky," Jermyn"replied. "I'll get the ferret andnets, and then be off. Lucky I cameback earlier than usual." M itfall out, his arrival home far alieadof his usual time was to prove disas-trous to those whose far-spreadactivities were creating such a coin-motion in the State departmentsresponsible for them, and also amongthe banks.
With the rabbiting nets slung overhis shoulder, the pegs for them in onepocket, his pet ferret in the other, ahefty cudgel swinging from his leftwrist, while his hands were full ofpie, Jerry betook himself throughthefarmyard, past the great Dutch barnsand the stacks, and into the longmeadow stretching away in a gentleslope to the shore road bordering thesaltings and farther sea marshes.Half-way down the field . Jerrystopped and, munching the muttonpie slowly and with relish, gazedaround contentedly.
Away behind him the land trendednp to woods and farms and hamleta,and a great camping centre of theregulars and territorials. MidwickHall stands on a great broad knolloverlooking miles of th® marches,where a broad pstnnry goes sweepinginto the North Sea. The lonelyfarmhouses on the low ground* there
y *
are surrounded by a vast network Of -creeks and deep, broad ditches, andfor anyone unfamiliar with the fleetsor channels, and the treacherousbanks and shallows in places wherethey are least expected, there is littleor no hope of reaching one's destina-tion without a guide.- Here, earlyin the Great War, before Germany'snavy was driven into port at theBattle of Jutland, was to be thelanding-place for the invasion of theUnited Kingdom. Although, as themarsh folk themselves know too well,there is not a more desolate and dan-gerous region in the Home Isles.
But, to Jerry Chibborne, son of theEssex marshes and fleets, it all wasas familiar .and friendly as the hallitself. Even now, as he surveyedthe dreary landscape by the light ofvery late afternoon, Chibborne'sbrown face lit up, his keen sigtyttracing a far distant seaward fleetwhere he had chanced on thatrare; visitor, th& whooper swan, withits trumpeter notes. , _ ■$,
"Keep still; Jinkie," quoth heaffectionately to the ferret, slipping
his hand cautiously into iris, pocketand caressing the uneasy little beaat,"well soon be at it now on the bank'longeide the Shore road. If you-donlfc-"-"
"I say, Jerry," floated over to himfrom out of a struggling mass \ofbramble and aldtfr and tall"have you a pie left ? lam desper-ately hungry, b'y."
"Mr. Main, Main!" cried Chib-. morne in an' amazed and joyous voice,as a wj*y, figureclad in very disreputable brownshooting jacket and well-worn trou-sers crawled out of the* thicket."Whatever are you doing there?"
"Getting an appetite, for onething," was the answer, "and gloat-ing over this lovely landscape, like
, you. Say, Jermyn lad, have youseen or heard of any stranger carscareering along the Shore roadlately? Visitors are «o few, youmarshmen notice 'em."
• Jerry shook his head and eyed withinterest the case of binoculars slunground Main's shoulders.
"A big chocolate car, eh? Hardto forget it because of its torpedo-shaped radiator and front. It isbnilt for speed, you Bee, b'y," hisfriend went on lazily; but his eyes,Chibborne noted, did sot leave thewinding riband of road. "Some—
ah, well—say, friends of mineshouldbe in her, and I'm rather interested."
"You're late, then," Chibborneburst out with eagerly, "for a carlike that came along last week—

And with acheery nod he made away, slantingdown the field toward the road.
Chibborne watched him for a fewsecond#, .then his gaze _ travelledthoughtfully over to the wide silveryband of river, and, alongside it, frhered-tiled farmhouse of Trendayes,where Main lived with his deaf house-keeper and a tacttiirn watchdog of aScottish man-servant. It struckJerry as being rather strange thatMain had kept in close covert of thethicket while watching the road forhis friends, but then, as he now toldhimself, his friend was a "rummymixture and like nobody else." Per-haps these friends of his were folkhe had met abroad, and some of themwere by no i means in the usual runof acquaintances, according to Main'*reminiscences and all too few yarn-ings of life on the Dutch and German■ea -littoral*.

Our Native TreesNo. XIX.—SILVER
BEECH.By L. M. CRANWELL, MA.
SOME of our noblest beech forestsconsist almost entirely of tawhai,or silver beecji. a large and beau-
tiful tree to whieli the botanist Kirkgave the name of "Silver Beech,"so impressed was he -with its thTn,siiVery bark, which he comparedwith that of the silver birch of thenorthern hemisphere.
Silver beecli k a tree of cold andmisty highlands, so we Shall notexpect to fiud it north of AucklandCity. Just to the south-east, how-ever, there rises in the. CoromandelRanges a high, inaccessible plateau.Th« is Table Mountain, the nor-thernmost limit for the species;Whether it still grows there I can-not say, but 1 do know that littleremains on the broken hills of . theThames goldfields nearbv. Gold-miners have used a great deal of itsstrong., deep red timber in the minesand much more has gone up insmoke.
At the end of the range, whereTe Aroha plants its sturdy feet inthe peatlands, silver beech is a«ainto be found. There it forms a"capof forest, following belts of kauri,tawa, and red beech. If you knowthe track up the mountain you willremember the great beauty of thenpper forests. Where the track«rows steeper, rockier and moredelightful step by step, because ofthe wealth of mist-nurtured - ferns,jnosses and gigantic lichens, there"will you .find yourself, perhaps forthe first time, in beech forest. Afterthe red beech comes a mixture ofted and silver beech, all laced to-
, gether with ivory-flowered tawari
and pinkish-white kamahi, while atall times the red and silver leavesof horopito, or Maori pain-killer,delight the eye. This undergrowthis exceptionally rich because on thismountain we have a mingling ofwarm northern and cold southerntypes of forest.
At the timber-line, where con-ditions are too severe for trees,silver beech becomes a gnarled butresilient
tdwarf of slow growth,
sometimes, as on Te Aroha, heavilyswathed in creeping ferns and mosses.On Bull Mound, in the TararuaRanges.. I have seen it pruned knee-high by fierce winds. It is foundforming forests on most of the highcountry in the North Island, but itis interesting to notice that it hasnever been found on Mount Egmont.There kaikawaka, or mountain cedar,and kamahi replace all the beeches.
Now, how does one recognise thisimportant tree? First of all'there isthe silvery trunk, often' with darkbuttresses against 'the ground. Fromit spring massive branches at differ-ent levels, giving a handsome tieredeffect. The leaves are small, thick,darkly shining, and crowded togetheron switchy twigs covered with tinyrusset hairs. These leaves alwaysremind m,e of great rigid sprays ofmaidenhair. As with all the beeches,fruiting appears to be irregular. Theysay that the trees save up energy inthis way 'for a good season now andagain. I have not been able to securefresh male'and female flowers so Ihave drawn only the leaves, the curi-ous fruit (with an outer "cupule", tobe compared with the cup of anacorn), and thewinged seed.
The nearest>relatryes of this beechlive not in New, Zealand but in Tas-mania,- in th»Vetera mountains ofAustralia and in.-thisdesolate forestsof southernmost-South" America.

NESTS WHICH GROW INSIZE.THE PIED SHAG.
By E. G. TURBOTT. B.Sc.1 1"HERE are about 37 different kinds1 of shags, and New Zealand pos-
sesses a good number of them.In spite of this, the shag we aregoing to look at Ts quite outstanding.
This, the pied shag, is a bird ofstriking plumage. He is greenish-black above and white below. Theline between black and white passesstraight back from his eye, and ifyou see him in a- side view his face
is rather more white than black. Oneof the birds in the photograph kturning round to show us this per-fectly. Other colours come into viewif you are fortunate enough togetclose to him. Then you see - thatthere is blue skin on the side of hisface and that a spot in front ofeye is yellow. The colour of his eyeis green and hiß feet are black.
The pied shag, karuhiruhi, is quitecommon round the northern coasts ofNew Zealand, where it finds plenty offish. Sometimes it carries out itsfishing in rivers or in fresh waterlakes not far from the sea. It ischiefly a sea bird, however, and seemsto do no damage to the trout duringits days on the fresh water.
In spring pied shags become par-ticularly interested in suitable pohu-tukawa, and perhaps, in the south,rata trees. If a tree overhangs thewater, whether at the top of a cliff,or lower, down, it will probably suitthe pied shags.
The birds form a colony on such atree at nesting time. If the sametrees have been used year after year,
the nests dotted about them are verylarge. This is becaua* the bird addsmore and more to' last year's nest—•the foundation is always of sticksand new sticks are added for repairseach year. The lining of leaves isalso probably renewed when neces-sary.
Of course large nests like this can-not be hidden. In fact, the ehagsprefer a clear view and pick off leafesand twigs near the nest.
On this wooden "stage, perhaps highabove the sea, two or three eggs arelaid and young pied shags hatch out. %
Like all baby shags, they have atfirst no down or feathers at all. Thedown, when it grows, is brown aboveand white below. Thus, although
thezje are some brown feathers scat-tered over the lower surface, whenfeathers appear the young shagshave always a "pied" appearanceworthy of their parents. Eggß maybe found from June to October andthe young birds leave the nest fromSeptember until January.
Sometimes you can come out on acliff edge face to face with a colonyof shags out on an overhanging tree.Then if you take care, first of all notto fall over the cliff, and secondly,not to disturb the birds too much,you can watch closely the nest lifeof the birds.
The young shags cry monotonouslywhen they are hungry, which if>nearly always. This is not becausethey are not properly fed. The par-ent birds come in from fishing ingood time. To receive their mealthe chicks then reach with their beaksinto the old bird's mouth and obtainthe fish which has been captured. Atfirst they are given fish which isalready half digested, but later theycan have fresh food. So they growup until they are ready to do fishingof their own.

Stories of New Zealand.
So the united forces marched onMaketu, along the beach. The Arawafought them on the shore and in thepa, but were soon defeated, and thecannibal army overwhelmed the fort.Most; of the defenders were killed orcaptured, Tapsell's warehouse oftrade goods was plundered, and hishouse and flax store were set on fire.The trader and his family narrowlyescaped with their lives.
Tapsell was reduced to ruin in anhour. His loss by the sacking ofMaketu and the burning of the storefull of flax was more than £4000,estimated on Sydney prices. He wasleft to begin business life anew, withnot a gun or a pound of powderleft.
It would certainly have paid himto have forgiven Haere-huka thatlittle debt of six muskets,
An Army of Revenge.The trader and his wife and their
followers took refuge for six monthson the island of Mokoia, in LakeRotorua. The Arawa, urged on by
now prepared to seek utu,or payment, for their defeat. Theymustered in their full strength, about1000 fighting men, and they marchedagainst the Tauranga tribes, whoheld a fort at Te Tumu, on the oceanfront half-way between Maketu andTauranga. The battle that followedwas described to me by two very oldwarriors who had fought 'there asyouths in the Rotorua army. Thesepeople stormed the pa and com-pletely defeated their foes. Theyreturned to Maketu and rebuilt theravaged village.
But Tapsell would not return. Hewas without resources; he would notbegin anew in that scene of ruinwhere he had once been so prosper-ous and happy. Even the batteryof guns that had been his pride hadbeen ruined by the invaders. Theyhad spiked most of the cannon bydriving long iron nails and spikesfrom his store into the vent (ortouch-hole), and had thrown nearlyall of them over the cliff and intothe river.
Those episodes occurred in 1835-36.Tapsell decided to establish himselfafresh a* a trader at Matata andWhakatane, and presently he wasbusily trading again, though he neverregained the old prosperity he badenjoyed for a few years at Maketu.He had many,an adventure and somenarrow escapes from death on shoreand on the coast? in small craft.
The trader's enemies once tried tobewitch him fatally, but Tapsell wasno superstitious Maori. He laughedat his friends' feara when they toldhim that a dreaded witch had placeda fearful curse upon him and that hewould surely die. They trembledwith fear when he derided the powersof the unseen, but they presently had
(Continued from page 370.)to agree with him when,he assuredthem that white men were not sub-ject to wizards' arts, and that hisGod was more powerful than thoseof the Maori.
ShipWTeclc.But once more Tapsell's hopes of
regaining his olden prosperity wereruined. A schooner from Sydneywhich had been obtained to carry onhis shipping business was wrecked ina hurricane at Maketu, where shehad gone to load flax. He saved alittle of his property, but the Maorisplundered the wreckage.
On top of this disaster came thenews that his business agent in Syd-ney had become bankrupt, owing himsome hundreds of pounds for flaxwhich he had chipped from Whaka-tane.
So, an old man, he once more wasleft to begin his trading life again.
The Last Salute.The old sailor's courage and forti-
tude never failed him. He set toand built a email schonner for theMaoris. This they paid for in flax.In one way and another he carriedon, trading and boat-building, untilhis trembling hands could no longerobey his undaunted will. His stal-wart half-caste sons and his grand-children tended him lovingly in hislast years. He died in 1873, at theage of 94 years, on the soil wherehe had landed with such vigour andpride more than 40 years before.
Tapsell's burial was in the heroicmanner that befitted the laying torest of a brave old sailor. Inaccordance with his own reque6t hisbody was not enclosed in a coffin,but was sewn up in blanket, like aseaman in his sail-cloth. A gunwas fired fpom Maketu Hill at themoment of his death. Another one-gun salute was fired as he was low-ered into his grave in the valleybelow the pa. amidst the weepingand. the wailing farewells of the"Children of Tapihana."
HUMMING BIRDS.The humming birds have been
making things hum in Harrismith,South Africa. As a rule they findan abundance of honey on theDrakensberg Range, but the sugarbush, as it is called, is almost devoidof flowers this year, probably becauseof the drought. So it is that amultitude of tiny blue and greenbirds, known locally as Natal honey-stickers, have flown inland in searchof flowers. They have invaded thegardens in thousands, eagerly com-peting for the blossoms containinghoney. These gardens must seem tothem an earthly paradise after thebush famine; in them are abundantnasturtiums and red-hot pokCrs, thefavourite cultivated flowers of thehumming birds. Eighteen birds wereseen clustered round one red-hotpoker.
The Land Yacht.(Continued from Page 372.)
Alec put her a few points to port.The tidie was almost at the full now,and', right down' to Bourne the fair-way was,awash. They must cling tothe water's' edge and trust to luckfor the rest. The bow grazed thefourth mile post as they flashed by.The lights of Bourne sprang to viewthrough the smother. They werenearly through.
Alec leant forward,"Hang on," he shouted: "I'm going
to lower the sail."There was no time to undo the
lanyard. The rope va« stiff and hishands were numb. He opened hisknife and severed it with a slash.The sail came down with a run, andalmost immediately the speed beganto fall.'
Two hundred yards from the har-bour entrance a sandy track ran upinto the village. Jimmy jumpedclear and disappeared into the dark-ness. Alec ran the yacht into theloose sand and followed at top speed.The coast road entered the village atthe head of the track and immedi-ately opposite stood the "Ugly Duck-ling" Inn. Jimmy was talking earn-estly to a group" of fishermen in thedoorway. As Alec sprinted up heturned triumphantly: |
"We've done it after all! The carhasn't passed through yet."
He broke off suddenly as the faint-sound of a motor horn came down dnthe wind.
"This looks to be him," said one ofthe fishermen. "Dare say youH bewantin' us to help stop him, MiaterFraserV
"Yes, rather. Come on."They m>ved out into the roadway
and waited determinedly. The tw'nheadlights of the car swung intoview and bore down upon themrapidly. After that it was merely amatter of minutes.
There were two men in the car,and at first, am was only to beexpected, they were inclined tobluster, staling vehemently and witha noticeable foreign accent that theywere "peaceful fishers for the trout,returning homeward from Scotland";but as it happened to i>e the closeseason, little credence wae given totheir protestations of innocence; Qutof respect for their nationality theywere treated courteously, but notime was wasted.
"Yon will hand over to me thepapers which you stole a few min-utes ago," Alec told them quietly;"and then one of you will come back
with us in the car, while the otherremains here as hostage. After that ;you will be allowed'to go free, butto-morrow we will-give the numberof your- ear 'to the police. Quick,now,' we don't want to wait here allnight."
Five minutes later theyspeeding back up the road to thehouse with the land yacht bobbingalong lightly behind. ' 3
"It's pity the tide is so high,"vr|murmured Alec ruminatively, as they fiset out. "I say, Jimmy, you wouldn't ?
care to wait in the village for «»-jhour or so, till the tide goes out, I"-'*;suppose?"
"Till the tide goes out! Whatever >-
for?" ;y"Well, I thought we might fry to .
tack back against the wind, youknow. Tt would sort of put thefinishing touch to our little outing."
"Yes," said Jimmy, with feelinjr,."and it would sort of put the finish-i■'ing touch to me. as well. No thanks,i?:'Alec. I am a firm believer in land : :
yachts and all that, you know, hut-no thanks!" 5
West ChristchurchHigh School.
(Continued from front page.)
From its earliest days- Christ-church West has had a reputationfor scholarship. Its first headmaster,the Rev. James Gumming, laid thefoundation of education in mthoroughly, sound manner, and thetradition that he founded has beenupheld throughout the history of theschool.
It is at the same time one of theddest educational establishments inChristchurch and one of the youngestof its major secondary schools. Itis only necessary to glance at it*list of distinguished old boys andgirls to realise the part that it '"*
played in the development not onlyof Canterbury, but of New Zealandas a whole.
One of its old boys was knightedand became a ."udge of the Sup.-emeCourt. Others have made names forthemselves in the academic world, inthe practice of law, in medicine,politics, military service, the church,music, business—in fact, in almostevery walk of life. In the world olsport old boys and old girls of WestChristchurch have competed on equalterms with the best from any othereducational establishment in thecountry. '
It is nearly 80 years since thatday in November, 1858, when thecongregation of St. Andrew's Churchsponsored the Christchurch HighSchool. In \hose years great thingshave been done-at the school and byits pupils after leading. The schoollooks forward to greater achieve-ments in the future. The spirit ofthe past is still strong at "West."*It is a secondary school with an oldtradition, and its present pupilsfirmly believe, as did their fathersbefore them, that "West" is "th»best school of all."

A STRANGEENCOUNTER
Tnr'.orcil the Valley ofV: _runs a little .river,wl-.0.e Louise, subject to the freak-
ish fomitttio'.i of the steep hills thatcut !>fi the valley from the outside■W'nr'.J, "w a succession of sudden turnsand erratic twists that more thantreble its apparent length.
From its beginning to end RalphTlioresby had followed - the twistingribbon tinier beyond counting, some-times with his rod, more often withanother purpose in view; and thoughat the finish he had travelled but avery few miles forward, even histough leg muscles would be aching1)8fore he reached the ford, and itsprecarious stepping-stones, half wayalong the valley. Just a short dis-tance beyond his journey would end,but there wu no end to his wonderand his speculations.
Ralph knew—or believed he knew•—every foot of th© stream as well asthe palm of his own hand—the openstretches where the cows and horsescame to drink; the deeper pools•where, in the shade of some steep,encroaching cliff, the water showeddark green, almost black.
>He knew
where to find the of the dab-chicks, the hiding places of the watervoles, end where to get a fat trout■when required. But he did not knowwhat became of the river itself. •
A little beyond the ford the riverruddenly vanished. The infrequentctranger penetrating the valley, fol-lowing the rude track between thefeet of the hills, would give a-casual|glance aver his shoulder and suddenlyrealise that the Btream alongsidewhich he had been walking was nolonger there. He would see thewhitey-brown river bed windingahead, a rough, narrow way ofbroken stones, but of water never asign.
What became of the river? Ralph,living in the valley all his life, couldnot answer the question. And itwas,a question he would have givenmuch to be able to answer. Thequeer disappearing trick of the riverwas an endless fascination for him.
No one could tell him—not evenIlls grandfather, who had dwelt inthe valley for nearly 80 years; noneof the dale folk. Once Ralph hadbeen to Liam, a tiny village off thesouthern end of the valley, where wasa river that had no apparent source,that appeared quite suddenly from"nowhere. Those who lived in the
Valley of Many Windings declaredthat that river was their river,emerging from a long journey withinthe earth. But there was no evi-dence the belief was correct. Thedale folk, however, seldom troubledthemselves in the matter, though onoccasion they could be eloquentenough. Ralph found their explana-tions and tales interesting enough,but unsatisfying. He wanted tosolve the secret. And the dale dwel-lers were emphatic that the secretwould never l>e solved.
Ralph hoped differently. He hadproved the legend of the "TreasureHull" to be a true tale; to do asmuch for the lost river was hisremaining ambition. From one of hisgrandfather's old books he hadlearned something of subterraneanstreams. He knew that explorationof potholes and'the cavern* in whichthe country abounded had led to themaking of some odd discoveries. Butnothing of the kind had beenattempted in his valley. It was eoremote, so isolated, few people out-side had ever heard of it.
Balph had an active imagination,and he was not satisfied to accept thevanishing of the river just as anatural fact and not-to be explained.To his imagination he owed his dis-covery of the treasure cave with itscenturies-hidden arms and goldenornaments. His grandfather's bookhad informed him of the great caveat Clapham, with its passages ofmore than a mile in length and astream that wandered for milesthrough the heart of the hills. Whyshould not something of the sameexist in his valley T
Search as he would, however, hehad not succeeded even so far as tofind a starting point. Inthe valley,unlike Clapham, there was no pot-hole or cavern that he knew of situ-ated where a useful beginning mightbe made. His river simply vanishedinto its own bed. Possibly the thicklayer of broken gritstone concealedsome jasrged rift through which thewater disappeared. There was noevidence supporting this theory, yethe had no other. In spite of hoursof searching, no likely outlet for thestream had he found.
When Donald Mackay, whosefather had taken over the manage-ment of the marble quarry at thenorth end. came to the valley, Ralphfound a friend and a frequent and
enthusiastic companion in hie search-ings. A Highland lad of aboutRalph's age, Donald was as keen afisherman, indefatigable a walker,and imaginative &as his chum.Together they had argued theories,explored and hunted. All to nopurpose.
One autumn afternoon the two ladewere lying on a knoll overlooking theriver, Donald with his back againsta young tree, Ralph extended on hischest, chin propped on his fats, eyesfixed on a fringe of coarse grass andtrails of creeping weed covering thefoot of the steep cliff on the furtherside of the water.
"Eigh! but I doubt ye'll have togive it up, Ralph," explaimed Donald,correctly guessing his companion'sthoughts. "An' maybe 'tis for th'best, too," he added.
"How's that, Don?""Well, maybe an' did we find our
way where th' wee river goes, we'dbe finding also something we'd be noglad to find."
"Wliat'd we ba likely to find, eh?"inquired Ralph, turning his head,"except caves and tunnels, stalag-mites and euch."
"There's no knowing," and Donaldshook his heed mysteriously.

Ralph eat up. "No knowing cer-tainly. But what else could wefind?"
"What of th* watter folk?"returned Don after a pause, his voicelowered. "Why should they not a'have gone below ground now thatfolk no longer believe in them?'Besides," he went on, hurriedly, "two—three days back I vu ha'ing acrack with my father about th' weewatter. Ye ken, he's travelled far,my father, aye, and seen queer things.He told of some underground watter—in America, I think he said—where there are great fish, blind sothat they canna see."
"Well, fish wouldn't hurt u» if wedid find them."
"That may be or not. But thenhe told of a place in Yorkshire, wherehe once worked, where there ie agreat cave, and a greet river, all
| under th' earth. And folk tell ofa man who, lang syne, ventured
therein, scoffing, yet eurioue. Buthe did not come back, and other folkwent to seek him. He was but justalive when they came to him. Andwhen he could speak again he toldof a great beastie—fish or serpent,animal or spirit, he couldne richtlysay—that had fallen on him as hegroped in th' dark.and came nigh tokilling him. Eigh! but ye'd nolike to meet siccan a thing as that,Ralph," and Donald shivered.
"Ye're right; I would not," agreedRalph, very heartily. "But that,Donald, is only a legend."
"Aye; an' did ye no tell me that'twas but a legend th&re was goldan' treasure in th' wee cave aboveThor'svHouee yonder ?" asked Donaldquickly.- "But when ye won insideye found th' legend to be a true tale.Maybe th' watter legends are justas true."
Ralph, did not laugh, having nowish to hurt the feelings of hisfriend, whose Highland blood andupbringing were an influence strongenough to make him accept the beliefin the supernatural that still clingsto hie race.
"You're right, Don; the one legendwas true enough," he admitted. "Forall that. J think we needn't worryabout what we're likely to meetunderground—if we ever win there."
"I'd like fine myself to keri wherean' how th' wee river goes away,"Donald eaid wistfully. "It'd beawful fine to know."
"Tom Stringer said he believedwent right down to Australia—thatthe river at Liam's isn't ours at all."
